From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka ?/{ qRz'C<  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum a'Qy]P}'Ug  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . P!m~tu}B  
:f^O!^N  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical yaA9*k  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather iYv6B6o/99  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish 0pu])[P]_[  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why }x-~>$:"  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes ;oULtQ  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the 89@89-_mC  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious (J<@e!@NE  
methods. Tc\^=e^N?

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave 2X)E3V/*  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and E] t:_v  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the +]CKu$,8  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the eJ%~6c`@!  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing *u7C){)gr[  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that v<tH 3I+  
never undermines the content. jL%  -G

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his Ua V9T:)x  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton o|l)oc6{  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang ?$;_a%v6  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much 6l [TQ  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off %MbjKw  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of w*#k&N[X  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. u/y`M] 17

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is %r6~5_A  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the Ax0u \(p<^  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With Cl<`uW3  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure  vxr3|2`  
(that'll be the title track, then). l%fnGe` _
