hEKf6# Z{]0jhUyNh From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
7$CBx/X50) Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
v>Q#B selling Songs from the Deep Forest .

^")Q YE cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
lh7jux more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish

n\*!CXc can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and

E&2OD [iX listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the

8Oz I|gB@|_~ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
&$`P,i 1) appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
F \KjEl0 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
bDL,S?@ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
|H;F7Y_ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
Qz5sxi by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
Z
X9T YN Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
J;.wXS_U8 v%+:/m1 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
J8uLJ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
v+46QK|I& found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
