JOrELrMx 3qiJwo> From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
q9^Y?` Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
rX33s selling Songs from the Deep Forest .

l \\S/N
A I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
fey*la Xq cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
n @&"+ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
*BLe3dok( Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
3vdu;W=Sz Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
:}@C9pqr2 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
2.LJp}> music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
#zS1Zf^KP methods.
=#i4MXRZ{ 2W3NL|P Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
_8Nw D_" can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
[DZqCo foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
&yxNvyA[u listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
z\fW )/ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
+yf(Rs)! dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
A~
Z6jK never undermines the content.
~+O `9& E X%6''ys Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
D]IBB>F appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
D \N
\BD Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
O'k+7y Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
C:`;d&d to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
Y^52~[w~ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
Q
6"uK Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
?X\3&Ujy$ {5^K Xj$B So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
#6Jc}g<?g a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
w8O" =}, found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
KZ=u54 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
