h%NM%;"H/ "@|rU4Y From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
HLdHyK/S Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
q~Al[`K selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
FMhuCl
2 =+I-9= I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
.:GOKyr(~ cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
#{^qBP[ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
dV16' Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
.p?SPR Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
t* p%!xsH Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
E@#<p-@~ music is several steps above even Special's fastidious

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
shP}T[< can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
x9S9%JG : foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
?;.=
o?e9 listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the

ls7P$qq dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
^zS;/% never undermines the content.

>,I'S2_Zl D*?LcxX So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
G;/l[mvh, a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the

I!/I (that'll be the title track, then).
