_,{u Hp!F?J7sx From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
P7-3Vf_L Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
IhLfuyFWu selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
yk{al SF C<>.*wlp= I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
`f]O cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
{8RGW0Y more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
%A3Jd4DH Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
aa/9o] Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
,qB081hPG Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
o:<3n,T music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
^dv>n]? methods.

foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
U w" listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
Xk'.t| course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
`l#g`~L dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that

- Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
za7wNe(s appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
K<GCP2 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
W6Pg:Il7 Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
C.<4D1}P to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
Di*>PE@ by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
6-"&jbvm Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
:xCobMs_/ ny=iAZM>q So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
*en{pR' a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
9 lv2 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
x}d\%*B a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
o@. !Z8 (that'll be the title track, then).
