_v5t<_^N qV1O-^&[f= From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
V%L/8Q~ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
g1m-+a selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
Eyh|a.)- =6 %|?5G I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
N$aZ== $5 cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
[5ethM
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
/"AvOh* Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
DQ!J!ltQ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Bt~s*{3$8 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
=v-2@=NJ`K music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
R"xp%:li methods.
L ^Y3=1#"g DQ6jT@ZDH Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
W? ,$!]0 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
W|c.l{A5Q foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
M-9gD[m listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
6vz1*\:H~ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
4 rB8Nm1 dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that

cy3ww}) @ RR\lZ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
vE\lp8j+ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
q(]f]Vl|0 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
ym%slg Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
KsdG(.I+ek to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
a8uYs DS by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
WYIw5jzC Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

KJl \2DE==M)P So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
(Pi-uL<[a a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
YB!!/ SX4 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
H~9=&p[Q a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
