6> DmcG:. 4>R)2g From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
nY M2Vxi0+ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
lD9QS ; selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
" i!Xiy~ aWS_z6[t#6 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
m:-=K cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
vCX
54 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
OrPi ("/ Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
M4}b lh# Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
r}nz )=\Cj Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
eHE?#r16Z music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
P1G;JK methods.
i K,^|Q8 r7FFZNs! Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
}Gf9.ACQ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
;Z 6ngS foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
T/$hN hQK listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
Eg+z(m$M course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
q=x1:^rVH dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
CaB@,
L never undermines the content.
nnZM{<!hF PblO?@~O Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
tRYi q appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
<wTD}.n Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
~0V,B1a Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
jI!WE$dt to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
{?uG] G7 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
$s<bKju Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
.azA1@V| f#3!Q!C^ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
}@TtX\7(D a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
C^ 1;r9 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
}J+\o~ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
oGKk2oP
(that'll be the title track, then).
