TAKvE=a; Eh/Z4pzT From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
eaCh;IpIf Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
S[I-Z_S selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
%g{<EuK]p 0iTh |K0 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
m}o4Vr;" cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
y6N }R more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
hSF4-Vvb Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
zpBkP-%}E Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
2(K@V6j$M Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
,K~r':ht music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
S_dM{.!Z(, methods.
@;ob 4sU 8AuO
e7D9A Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
aXRf6:\% can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
$I:&5 o i foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
1CpIK$/ listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
F*j0o
+B5 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
Ee 15Y$1 dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
VDy\2-b8d never undermines the content.
'fr~1pmx#3 t p<wMrq< Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
u#~q86k appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
%e%VHHO| Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
/YT _~q=: Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
ERz{, >G? to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
s2t9+ZA+s by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
4g^X
e- Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
]@9ZUtU,;N Y;[+ ^J*a So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
vvmG46IgZ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
p^THoF'~T found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
,)%$Zxng a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
qM8"* dL (that'll be the title track, then).
