wE2x:Ge: From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
#W5Yw>$ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
/(zB0TEd selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
065A?KyD cx:jUsb6 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
(xUFl@I! cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
eT\p-4b more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
L>:FGNf^H Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
m X:
bA5db Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
"m>};.lj Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
Sf/W9Jw music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
i
tW~d methods.
H A\A$> Y3M','H([ Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Q9q9<J7j$ can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
K#)bjxz foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
u'Pn(A@1R listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
8;.` {'r course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
P:a*t[+ dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
)$F6 never undermines the content.
1gAc,s2 ,O9`X6rh' Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
u]#8$M2 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
u[J7Y Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
Y-7.Vjt^ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
Tvrc%L(] to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
5j1 IH,yW by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
v1K4 $&{F Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
.m'N7`VB 4^BLSK~( So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
%Fm`Y.l a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
't ;/,+:V found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
g4T3?"xMB_ a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
v/(__xN`B (that'll be the title track, then).
