"King of Rock and Roll"
Written by Mathieson / Brookner/Halliday
Written in response to Caesar the DJ's request for a Ballad and was inspired by Steve Mathieson hearing "a country boy" played on capitol gold radio for the first time.
Using the tune originally used on a song called "not on my mind" (music by Steve Brookner) the song tells the story of how a fan feels about losing Elvis

Track 3 "Twice Upon A Time"
Written by Dave White and tweaked by Mathieson and Halliday
Vocals Steve Halliday, Guitars by Dave White, keyboards Glenn White

A typical western tale of an outlaw on the run this is a uptempo number inspired by Dave White’s many trips to the states a lot of fun to make
"Track 4
"Nice of You to Call"
Again written by Dave White and tweaked by Mathieson/Halliday

Dave wrote his is Jim Reeves style but Steve Brookner gave it a calypso feel ready for Steve Halliday to stamp Elvis all over it, a song of loosing a love to another with dignity, which only Dave could have written
