From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka &&s3>D^Ta  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum  d H ;  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . _t7}ny[  
 rFLm!J]  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical (/;<K$u*h  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather [zsUboCkc  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish `ttqgv\  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why EU,f;H  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes lq_( au.  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the Q| _e=  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious =6Q\78b  
methods. 'L5ih|$>

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave /73ANQ"  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and R|g50Q  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 4^3lG1^YY  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the S(ky:  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing Yj{-|2YzL  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that h6;vOd~%  
never undermines the content. L )53 o!

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his K'f`}y9  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton ZGsI\3S  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang wmDO^}>ZP  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much +aZcA#%  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off EN/r{Cm$B  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of qq'%9  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 9$s~ `z)

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is M{4U%lk  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
<^(>o  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With | {Tq/  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure ngOGo =
 
(that'll be the title track, then). VM}7 ~
