From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka {dL?rQ>5L  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum rAs,X  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . QHWBAGA  
Pb8^ b  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical $<^u^q37u  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather "Kc>dJ@W  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish ]S(%[|  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why GrTulN?  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes `)T~psT  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the es>W$QKlo  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious em\ 9'L ^  
methods. Ea?XT&,

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave UK1_ 0tp]x  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and /DqLrA  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 4#5:~M }  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the w.lAQ5)I%\  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing u`olW%C/T  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that Q>R>R*1.

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his I j$lDJS  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton  ;b`[&g  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang K =wBpLB  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much XuD=E  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off rHf&:~   
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of F:D orE  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. <JV"@H=

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is $&"V^@  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the m!W3Cwz\&  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With hUD7_arKF  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure zfc3)7
