From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka }0z)5c  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum SH$PwJU  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . %> eiAB_b

I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical ki!0^t:9  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather LRA8p<Rs  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish n84|{l581  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why # W']6'O  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes teF9Q+*~  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the \b x$i*  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious  kJ}`V  
methods. ~0$&3a<n1

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave oc`H}Wvn  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and F4
1=b4/  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the (A#^l=su  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the eauF~md,  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing 4[eXe$  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that cwg"c4V  
never undermines the content. @9s$4DS

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his L4HI0Mx  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton /4Gt{ygSr  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang jLluj   
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much R/YqyT\SM  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off 5]0<9a  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of %h@EP[\  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. &8lZNv8;(p

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 3w'tH4C[Y  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ]a`$LW}  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With |L ev.,,Ph  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure %ET+iIhK  
(that'll be the title track, then). g7H(PF?
