S3uyn78hI 专辑介绍:
>|a\>UgC 3 ppuQQ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
yS[z2:! Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
]3L@$`ys selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
(8CCesy& \!^i;1h0c3 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
m[Z6VHn
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
uR#'lb`3 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
IQ3n@ Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
.OmQ' Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
?k{|Lk Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
L5Urg*GNL music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
/Q?~Q0{)es methods.
pC*BA<?Rg ^ED"rMI Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Bk@)b`WR can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
!|B3i_n foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
u3 ]Uxy listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
[{`)j course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
p
?Ed-
S dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
sFLcOPj-% never undermines the content.

}D[Hp:m Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
_yj1:TtCNT appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
q@w{c= Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
1g1? zk8zO Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
4P|$LkI to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
G%a] j
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
XVw-G
}5 Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
pd d|n2q >SvDgeg_7f So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
}6).|^]\' a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
:.#z found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
"YJ[$TG a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
