1. Gone Gone Gone (Kim Simpson) 4:46
Kim and Bill's re-do of a song that  first appeared on
Kim's 1996 Midnight Apparitions CD.  Features the
raging fiddle of Darcie Deaville.


 2. The Day Sir Douglas Died (Kim Simpson) 2:41
Kim and Bill tip their hats to the incomparable
Texas legend, Doug Sahm.

 
3. The Sound of the Rain (Tony Kinman - Chip Kinman) 4:18
A cover version of a forgotten classic by
Rank and File, one of Kim's favorites from his
teenage years. 
Melissa Becker plays that fine fiddle.


4. Invasion Song 2 (Kim Simpson) 4:26
A fleshed-out, expanded version of the ditty
that opens up the Mad  Dukes'
2006 debut,
The Mad Dukes Sing and Play for You.
Topical song or swaggering, Mad Duke manifesto?  
Kinda works either way, wouldn't you say?
