(#kKL??W lXtsnQOOK From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
:o~]FVf Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
+YZ*>ki selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
W(pq_H' Z(j"\d!y I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
$%BI8_ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
L0l'4RRm\ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
Ft
E5H Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
'0-YFx'U0V Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
wZ4w`|' Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
T:T`M:C. music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
m)7Ql!l methods.
b?{MXJ| |I[/Fl: Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
[)+wke9 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
Sq&r
; foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
6ChFsteGFr listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
s&hJ[$i course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
f=k_U[b4> dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
rjffpU never undermines the content.

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
H )51J:4 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
&(7=NAQsE Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
]d67 HOyK Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
1=Z!ZY}}e to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
;NOmI+t0w& by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
kmUL^vF Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
l+#J oc<8 !4-4i So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
lZAXDxhnT a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
"1YwV~M5 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
zO`4W!x& a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
h1t~hrq (that'll be the title track, then).
