From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka X*S|aNaLWW  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum gN mp'Lm  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . #+Vvf
  
*vBcT.|,  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical ,3fw"P$  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather PjsQ+5[>  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish @*%.V.  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why v`Sllv5bV  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes Nu9mK  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the 5[/*UtB  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious ^vG*8,^S=8  
methods. kk!}mbA_}

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave =gfLl1wY[  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and +(|T\%$DT  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the }GGFJ"  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the VnIJ$5Y  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing _/MKU!\l  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that 0kC! v,  
never undermines the content. .[O*bk

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his mH}AVje{ `  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton :5"|iRP'  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang roRZE[ya  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much 2V F|T'h  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off t3bDi/m  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of .g4bV5ma3  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. | dXS+R1

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 'VF9j\a  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the Wxp^*._q3I  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With X\YeO>C  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure !^\|r<2M  
(that'll be the title track, then). fT'A{&h|U
