After much much searching, I found this link which provides
the EASIEST way to generate and write CD text (in the absence
of the original CD):

I already have cdrdoa installed.
Read:
http://apocalyptech.com/linux/cdtext/

So using that info, created a script to achieve what I wanted:

#!/bin/bash

# Preamble
echo "CD_DA"
echo ""
echo "CD_TEXT {"
echo "  LANGUAGE_MAP {"
echo "    0 : EN"
echo "  }"
echo "  LANGUAGE 0 {"
echo "    TITLE \"Almbum Title\""
echo "    PERFORMER \"Artist's Name\""
echo "  }"
echo "}"

#  cd to dir where your .wav files are for the CD
for i in *wav; do
n=`echo $i | sed -e 's/[0-9]*\._//' -e 's/_/ /g'`
# The above step was necessary for me because I wanted to get rid of 
each track's
# leading '<digits>._'  followed by the track title words which were 
separated by '_'
# and those underscores were converted to space'

echo "TRACK AUDIO"
echo "CD_TEXT {"
echo "  LANGUAGE 0 {"
echo "    TITLE \""$n"\""
echo "    PERFORMER \"Artist's Name\""
echo "  }"
echo "}"
echo "FILE \"$i\""
echo ""
done > toc.txt

# And then burn as follows:
cdrdao write --device /dev/sg0 --driver generic-mmc-raw -v 2 -n --eject  
toc.txt

I found editing these in k3b was way too tedious.
