From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka e5
v`;(^M  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum q<=: >?  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . Xwu.AVsr  
D>T],3U(H  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical |@VF.)_  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather P]<= ! F  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish &w~Xa( uu  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why 0??Yr  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes [!*xO?yCJ  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the $.e)  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious %I4zQiJ%  
methods. q@ #BPu"\l

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave f_r0})  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and \x\.  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the uVU`tDzd:  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the udqge?Tz  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing aSnp/g  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that CUmH,`hu  
never undermines the content. +GNWF% zN

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his '?/
&n8J\  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ,=w!vO5s  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang jD<pIHau  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much 6517Km 4-  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off M[
Y4_$k<-  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of <4?*$  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. }~enEZ

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 6nw&$I  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ,a(O`##Bn  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With jqoPLbxT
 
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure H*!5e0~rR  
(that'll be the title track, then). N7.  @FK
