nF` From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
RjgJIVm( Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
|6^%_kO!| selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
.oLV\'HAR
E]m?R 4 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
~LOE^6C+~o cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
"dDrw ]P; more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
nfGI4ZE Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
<Q- m & Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
H=f|X<8 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
d}ycC.h4k music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
Xxd]j] methods.
^eO/?D8~h q-_!&kDK" Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Z(Y: can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
m~Q24Z]!'& foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
B{:a,V7 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
v0E6i!D/ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
{N/%%O.b dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
8,!Oup never undermines the content.

?ZE: 6(4d3}F Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
{)!>e appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
Q1?*+] Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
2@GizT*mA Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
(?zD!%
k to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
b7Z o~Z by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
X<[ qX* Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
h3k>WNT7 Q-gVg%'7 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
g""GQeR a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
:Z6j5V;s found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
_"yA1D0d_ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
{o)pwM"@( (that'll be the title track, then).
