v`A^6)U#M o7i/~JkTP From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
QZ$94XLI Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
BC ]^BKP selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
A,ttn5Sh? ^0_ *AwIcN I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
8xJdK' cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
MC D]n more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
=;-/( C Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
`re]Q0IO Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
@vh3S+=M Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
\$}xt`6p music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
OD-CU8X9 methods.
B q+RFo Q.7Rv
XNw8 Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
iT1"Le/N can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
c[}h( jkP foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
C'4u+raq listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
B$1nq#@ course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
1k6f|Al- dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
Wp/!; never undermines the content.

\ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
C18pK8- appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
y:WRpCZoa Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
7}(wEC Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
lEIX,amwa to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
](a*R by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
/6B!&b2f Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
@a#qq`b; VQ5T$,& So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
v|t_kNX;v* a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
ge)g ?IP4 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
-l8n0P1+ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
tuo'4%]i (that'll be the title track, then).
