From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka #z70:-`.[M  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum l^KCsea #  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . _>aP5g?Ep  
wW8[t8%43  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical MslgQmlM  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather 4\nGWi{2  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish )p
e17T1|  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why *0?@/2&  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes yTn<5T[H  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the FC~%G&K/q^  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious \{!,a  
methods. 7 , _b

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave #_`qbIOAj  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and :bi(mX7t  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the eX lJ=S
}  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the Gg]Jp:GF  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing ?Bl/bY$*h  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that pq\N2d  
never undermines the content. 9:GP~oI j

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his {~j/sto-:  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton !*HJBZ]q  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang {IvA 5^  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much qX; F+~  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off }%jpqip  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of C"mWO Y2]  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 3:8p="$F

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is <%`Rku  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ,FH1yJ;Y&  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With AL^tUcl  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure :vx<m_  
(that'll be the title track, then). RLL%l
