From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka \25 EI]  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum ;>ml@@Z  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . Q$p3cepsK  
;8MQ'#  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical vD#kH1  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Qo3Enwap=  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish "\+\,C  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why X*7VDt=  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes T-4dD  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the Xajt][  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious e:MbMj6`  
methods. u"7!EhX&

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave t; #@t/`  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and @||nd,i`n~  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the \kI{#
 
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the zI^:{]p  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing S/eplz;  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that -0`
n(`2  
never undermines the content. M).CyY;bm  
(O!CHN!:  
Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his d7X7_  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton N8x&<H  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang H^o_B1  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much #$U/*~m $  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off '.%Omc  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of 0R
SzDgX  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. mc

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
Dh}d-m_ 5  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the _'y`hKeI[  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With {QdoIPr3  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure S~m8j|3K  
(that'll be the title track, then). FD%OG6db];
