From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka P|U9f6^3  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum 2g0_[$[m  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . =[_=y=G  
gXy'@!  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical -K%hug  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Sm5T/&z  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish Gf<f#.5y ,  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why ,#V}qSKUS  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes EX"o
9'  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the XbaUmCuh  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious Fo.p}j+>  
methods. BbCaIt

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave n=iL6Yu(  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and 0wE)1w<C~  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the -\I".8"YE  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the 7;rf$\-&  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing  8?4/  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that 9%iv?/o*L  
never undermines the content. `:*O8h~i^8

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his X%R)  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ]w/%>  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang q/eo d  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much L|y9T{s  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off aB^`3J  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of ?Zh,W(7W  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. f7v|N)

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is Mh"vH0\Lj  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the pT<}n 9yB5  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With *5z"Xy3J  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure Jq8:33s  
(that'll be the title track, then). l|L ]==M
