idc4Cf+4 OP! R[27> From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
#0"~G][# Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
x,8<tSW)Z selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
Ug%_@t/? '#\1uXM1U? I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
CN
& cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
b]Z@^<_E more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
6'C2SihYp Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
C~4PE>YtTv Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
Q2|p\rO Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
},@^0UH4c music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
NHQF^2 \\ methods.
>mq,}!n .12aUXo( Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
O4iC]5@ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
g"_C,XN foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
?>
Dtw#} listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
)_7>nuQ6 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
PWr(*ZP>hI dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
tt_o$D
~kg never undermines the content.
-yAQ ~x:DXEV, Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
)
c2_b appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
XGrue6ya Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
i[jJafAcN Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
AyKMhac to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
`:NaEF?Sj by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
#-VMg+14 Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
fxcc<h4 ~uWOdm-"[ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
Uz7
oL8 a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
l |2D/K5 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
1T&Rc4$Sn7 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
