jv$Y]nf ~^d. zIN! From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
0#(K}9T) Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
kk]f*[Zi5 selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
gXr"],OM; ' >(])Oq, I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
HQHFD0hv cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
KHwzQ<Z3 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
K&FGTS, Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
i0F.c\ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
'J^ M`/ Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
bwh7.lDAl music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
h(}$-' g methods.
[ZwZGAP `$og]Dn; Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
W: Rs 0O can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
.d<
+-w2Mu foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
>!+.M9 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
TDI8L\rr course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
m"Y;GzqQl dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
DLMG
<4Cd~ never undermines the content.
\s<7!NAE4 n8(B%KF Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
p7(Pymkd appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
cBf9-k Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
;t!n%SnK9! Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
(;u tiupW to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
3wXmX
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
>Gbj1>C} Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
p:M#F: <hi@$.u_Q^ So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
:xw2\:5~0 a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
S,T?(lSl found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
WqN=D5 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
J6x\_]1:* (that'll be the title track, then).
