"6t \!HGkmd From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
F?b5 !<5 Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
s7RAui selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
o!TG8aeb &WW|! 6 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
m9My cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
?m3,e&pB5 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
rzC\8Dd Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
#R&Dgt
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
5&5
x[S8 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
P;R`22\3 music is several steps above even Special's fastidious

bYT,f.,5{ foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
}K\]M@ listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the

ha6jbni dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that

| Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
c8qsp n appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
I_"1. Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
w4YuijhW Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much

$bQ[H[4l by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
9pN},F91n: Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

aiP.\`>} a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
5c?1JH62o8 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
