uO}UvMW ^,N=GZRWW From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
t73" d#+ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
M"<B@p]rk: selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
).9m6.%Uk 5AO'Ihp L I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
n0%]dKCB cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
`\5u/i'Ca! more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
o[E|xw Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
|$a!Zx94^ Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
H
mZ
* Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
DE _<LN
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
h}cR>
methods.
zTvGku[3 7c
aV-8: Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
;dE'# Kb can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
;ax%H @o foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
z)U/bjf listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
Y>2kOE course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
Yl0_?.1 z dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
]pP: never undermines the content.
UKBaGX:v &5o ln@YL Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
S[5e,Ew appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
`hE
@S |4 Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
pLea
4 Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
{m7>9{` to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
9s@$P7N5B by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
b?{ \t; Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
;ro%Wjg`} :FqHMN So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
q}0xQjpo a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
@<,YUp,%S found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
iW,fKXuo&y a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
)7}f. (that'll be the title track, then).
