6[fp e
xG:eS:iT From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
l_bvw
o Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
l_tr,3_w selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
/RD@ [ 8 Fm}#KE0 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
d 7vD cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
4FSA:]o- more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
wG;#L7% Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
H]&a}WQ_ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
~\_aT2j0 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
cojtQD6 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
I3 /^{-n methods.
R
gY-fc0 r}kQ<SRx Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
xCU^4DO3p can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
#'5|$ug[ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
cQ(zBf listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
'<!
b}1w0 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
IvuKpX>* dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
z}I =: never undermines the content.
$:IOoS|e NA%M)u{| Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
Bk,:a, appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
U9k;)fK Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
.B2?%2S Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
K.3)m]dCl to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
%:i; eUKR by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
Q9,H0r-% Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
lS"g[O+ t^eWFX So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
X(sHFVU+ a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
Hy4c{Ij found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
%04N"^mT'~ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
:`('lrq (that'll be the title track, then).
