From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
;Ww s;.~ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
F.%g_Xvk: selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
=%\y E0# l1utk8'- I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
:4(.S<fH)- cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
uoIvFcb^ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
D_W,Jmet Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
o_K.
+^$ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Z|h&Zd1z Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
=mq
02C~y music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
7P!Hryy methods.

@o g&l; Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
JQp::,g can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
^-24S#KE foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
<1L?Xhoc6 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
bc{ {a course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
mqx#N
% dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
#:5vN-9? never undermines the content.
0)?.rthk4S kp4(_T7R Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
^Iz(V2 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
eVVm"96Q.; Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
xXJl Qbs Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
PZDj)x_%B& to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
*&m{)cTs by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
'|9fDzW"] Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
"|\G[xLOaW xjplJ'jB So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
SS/9fT"[ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
)Hp{8c found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
6^Q Bol a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
