From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka C*<LVW{P  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum |a3b2x,  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . sIM`Q%  
?os0JQVB  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical SS

-   
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather }DwXs`M7  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish ymqhI\>y#  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why s#sXr  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes )E|Bb=%  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the 3Ed PKM j&  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious 2/WXdo  
methods. 3e:y?hpeL

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave Su~`jRN$  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and 3 +'w%I  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the C<ljBz`,t  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the T9 1Iz+j
 
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing L M[<?`%p  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that VB%xV   
never undermines the content. 0rj*SC_

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his }I0^n
v1  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton 6W o7q\"  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang ubw ]}sfM#  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much MmB-SR[>P  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off BN67o]*]<  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of =v}.sJ V?  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. Lj#6K@u@Z  
'S\H% -  
So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 'lF|F+8   
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the }9JPSl28Jr  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With P#C`/%$S  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure *Bj G3Jc5  
(that'll be the title track, then). B^Q#@[T
