From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka %V31B\]Nz7  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum >dyhox2*"  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . (*MNox?w  
% Oz$_Xe  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical Q!YF!WoBX  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather Ap%d<\,Z  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish l<W*/}3  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why |O57N'/  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes MF&3e#mdB  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the ]/LWrQD
  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious %)8d{1at  
methods. qC\]"Z`m

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave =x=1uXQv5  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and 
'BqrJfv  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the 4g>1Gqv6  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the ri"?,}(  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing cT_uJbP+  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that N )'8o}E  
never undermines the content. 4sj9 Z:

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his tDEXm^B2Sv  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton uFGv%W  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang ^Vl^,@  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much #:]vUQ  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off }/_('q@s\  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of H j>L>6>  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 8r7/IGFg

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
@oe3i  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the }M"-5K}  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With w3>Y7vxiz`  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure ]pM5?^<~  
(that'll be the title track, then). ~N
