~VO?P fxZ :e TzjW= From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
G2_l}q~ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
kF"G {5 selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
!pe!Z-, ^sZ,(sc{G I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
xcu:'7'K[ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
Vbpt
?1: more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
vWpkU<&3| Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
4>8'.8S Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
A^hFR
Ag4 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
hQDZ%> music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
w}QU;rl8q methods.

can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
"DNiVL. foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
yBwCFn.uP- listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
%'i`Chc^!; course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
/N(Ol WEp dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
FrBJv< never undermines the content.
k'$UA$2d 75t5:>"[ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
/tGj`C&qtw appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
ZQPv@6+oY Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
"~zQN(sR"P Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
bMpCQ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
a6fqtkZ x by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
00)=3@D Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

^qlfdf So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
aI0}E O a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
^(8(z@y found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
/iekww^54 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
