From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 9tsI1]1[m  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum zQ9 "i  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . zu'Ua
u  
Ql a'vcT  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical j*>+^g\Q6  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Kdk0#+xtP  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish 1eQ9(hzF  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why Sj
;B1&  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes [hA%VF.9  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the "l!WO`.zp=  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious #pP4\n-~hU  
methods. F<

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave zF6R\w  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and R/r)l<X@   
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 5=tvB,Ux4  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
3TqC.S5+  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing F,Q\_H##x4  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that Vrn. #d  
never undermines the content. qPZ' n=+

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his N&7= hni  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton bqp6cg\p  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang XJy~uks,  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much zb.^ _A  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off

&T  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of 3Yf&F([t  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. w 2!G"o

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is SLp &_S@4  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the P'f =r%  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With m7wD#?lm  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure z+I'N4*^  
(that'll be the title track, then). G'IqAKJ
