Ods~tM c }7gHud From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
YXLZ2-%ohZ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
Vv&GyqoO] selling Songs from the Deep Forest .

q= 0K(&EpVE I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
MP|$+yuR~ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
s?Z{LWZ@ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
p_B5fm7#6W Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
XY,!vLjL Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
_[pbfua Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
Ew )1O9f music is several steps above even Special's fastidious

MMy\u) 4 foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
-KL5sK listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
-PCFOm" course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
#G]g dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
O%1uBc never undermines the content.

` Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Gm[XnUR7V appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton

'j\~> a3\ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
bo-lT-I to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
|Sv}/P- by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
`hDH7u!U. Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
#2dH2k\F .k"unclT0 So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
,: Ij@u>) a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
6Zx)L|B found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
