From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka -}:; EGUtd  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum sQ"; t=yC  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . k7ye,_&>  
rvEX;8TS  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical W! jg  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather W*.j=?)\[  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish *TyLB&<t  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why IEmjWw4  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes )JA9bR <  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the +Hd'*'c  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious 4"^v]&I  
methods. ;)Fc@OXN>

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave <rI8O;\H  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and +?9. &<?  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the .o(S60iH!(  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the wGLSei-s  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing 2 Q}^<^r  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that }rA _4%  
never undermines the content. _Gtq]`y

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his D` abVf  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton i%# <Hi7  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang 9jf2b  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much wS;hC&~2  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off k.6(Q_TS  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of cr>"LAi  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. u&Cu"-%=M

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 0oPcZ""X]  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
\[Q*d  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With |.{[%OJP  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure L
