From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka v G\J8s  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum Z.Z;p/4F  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . Sqb>aj  
z|%Pi J,  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical ut560,h~  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather xlwf @XW  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish i^.eX VV/  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why IA.7If&k  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes $G"\@YC<  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the nX
fdf-  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious A/88WC$v  
methods. `zsooA Gt

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave 'C) v?!19  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and s%^@@Dk  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the H7(D8.y )  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the x.Tulo0/  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing )Bu#ln"  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that a] 7nK+N  
never undermines the content. _fS4a134R

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his ehTv@2b  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ]A%~bQ7  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang TG%w  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much j8c5_&  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off {vdY(  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of yhrjML2K  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. (2UA,

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is _]-8gr-T  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the Uz~B`  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With )O5@R  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure /:ZwGyT
