)Ps2 i&DUlmt)f From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
J+N
-+,, Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
N|ZGc{? selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
?8U]UM6Tu4 OjqT5<U I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
mG0_&'"YIG cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
m&be55M; more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
3"k n5)x Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
3SPXJa\i Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
6K=}n] n Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
D]|{xK C} music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
@L0)k^: methods.
!(Q@1c&z >B*zzj Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
`0!%jz= can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
(NJ.\m foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
wwJ s_f\
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
j#Lj<jX!xR course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
FP*kA_z$ dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
FT-=^VA\ never undermines the content.
&!M6{O=~ #uICHt3 Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
JeA_mtSQ| appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
036QV M$ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
bqx2lQf,_ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
HEhBOER? to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
)p:+!sX( by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
S;%k?O7v Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
`9P`f4x b@K1;A! S So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
;lhW6;oI' a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
P 6=5:-Hh found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
^),t=!;p a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
YRd`G3J (that'll be the title track, then).
