From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka ;Wws;.~  
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,Jm
et  
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. k^vsQ'TD

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 <1
L?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

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

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is SS/9fT"[  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the )Hp{

found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With 6^Q Bol  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure k
