Aq'%a)Y2 'fAD Dh} From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
^YIOS]d>8# Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
@I"Aet'XV selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
)vU{JY; #XcU{5Qm5 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
aV<^IxE; cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
DKTD Z* more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
{M[~E|@D Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
Z2#`}GI_m Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
x~EKGoz3 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
I(n }<)eF music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
Z(;AyTXA methods.
B?3juyB`-- SO3cY#i
z" Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Y@%`ZPJ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
NAJVr}4f foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
a$$ Wt<&Y listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
J633uH}} course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
6t7fa< dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
"Pj}E=!k never undermines the content.
kjE*9bUc LT_iS^&1 Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
TzKK;(GX appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
QDE$
E.a Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
p`P~i&_ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
9$RIH\* to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
C-w5KW by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
x8"#!Pw:`" Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
3n48 %5 o@k84+tn( So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
?KP}#>Ba@ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
n:4uA`Vg found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
BX< dSK a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
z$[C#5+2 (that'll be the title track, then).
