( From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
5MT$n4zKu Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
-r[l{ce selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
:dK/}S0 4\3Z$%2^LZ I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
|*Hw6
m cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
U5odSR$ more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
MC^H N w Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
q'[5h>Pa Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
4&}
LYSZl Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
2}K7(y!?u music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
0X.pI1jCO methods.

|.X?IJ` can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
1Jt5|'tl foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
_dj_+<Y? listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the

}/Pz1,/ Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
]:d`=V\&N appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
}[k~JXt Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
voEg[Gg4%I Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
ng"R[/)In to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
