Liner notes
Dear folks,
This is an album of songs, and the man who finished making it today is very different from the man who started it five years ago. So this is not a set of ideas put down at one moment, nor is it the story of my life; it is merely a collection of attempts made at various times to make sense of life's journey. Thus you won't find much in here about how fab it is to be a rock star in Queen; but you may find, in contrast, glimpses of someone quite small and insecure. I know him well.
Music is joy to me, and living in it is sometimes the only safe place to be. Much of what is recorded here is for fun, escapism, music for it's own sake, and although I mean what I say, take it all with a small pinch of salt.
In my mind, this album was always called Back To The Light. At it's beginning I felt no real hope of finding the light; now it glimmers dimly, encouragingly, but always intermittently in the hall of mirrors around me. I suppose if we ever knew exactly where the light was coming from, getting there would be easy.....

The T.E. Conway Story
- 1939 - Born Tyrone Everage Conway in a small farming town in Tennessee, U.S.A.
- 1957 - Already a legend at the age of 18, affectionately known as "Twit" because of his devotion to his distant cousin Mr. Twitty, T.E. Conway scores a succession of huge rockabilly hits around the known world.
- 1959 - The yount T.E. finds "The Light", an obscure Zen yogic set, and at only 20 years old turns his back on the lights of show business to become a meditative recluse.
- 1994 - By special request of British rock icon Brian May, T.E. Conway makes a surprise comeback appearance at the Queen Christmas Convention at London's glamorous Shepherd's Bush Empire.
- 1998 - Between hairdressing appointments, T.E. cuts four magnificent reworkings of his greatest hits at Allerton Studios, England. They appear for the first time uncut on this very disc.
