From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka pZqq]mHK  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum "Q@ronP(~  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . iJ1"at  
}v}P .P  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical jFL #s&ft  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Jh,]r?Bd  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish 'YmIKIw  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why `T@i.'X  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes vW
zm@  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the fg_4zUGM+g  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious 0l)~i''  
methods. ^}/PGG\~r

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave 4VJ-,Z  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and n{n52][J]  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the i1ixi\P{0  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the KrgFKRgGj  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing KKja/p  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that ]#)()6)2v  
never undermines the content. }eCw6

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his vOn`/5-  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ky R:[+je  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang 7OcWC-<  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much n`? py
 
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off ?AK(|  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of q(  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. CKYc\<zR0l

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is RuLi,'u  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the f(> p=%=O  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With ;5]Lf$tZ  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure l.67++_  
(that'll be the title track, then). LdYB7T,
