87WIDr ..BIoSrj From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
FOJ-?s( Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
&?N1-?BjM selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
l~P%mVC3m T-e'r I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
s2=rj?g&(X cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
"(bnr0 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
;f,
`T Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
Xc"l')1H Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
MLwh&I9) Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
i) v
] music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
<q@/Yy32 methods.
@@~OA>^ j}9][Fm1* Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
O@.C.5Ep can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
|R$V[ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
r}351S5( listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
tt5t(+5j course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
9e|-sn dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
Ze+p;v never undermines the content.
BG ,ln(Vz 6S]K@C=r Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
*IBT!@*Q& appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
<u "xHl8Io Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
4<%(Y-_sF Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
..jc^'L to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
cbe&SxJ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
O^|:q Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
`)5,!QPQ7u a,eR'L<"*- So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
'T=$Q%Qv a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
VF#2I%R* found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
o[=h=&@5p a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
