Z=(Tq1t q I*7ToBJ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
Hd_,`W@ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
0e(4+:0 selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
iKG," xMFEeSzl>S I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
sCE%./h] cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
x@tI more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
kzC4V Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
ogJ * Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
3)hQT-
) Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
3 5/ s\ music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
4mnVXKt%. methods.

Op:$7hv can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
Bv#?
.0Ez; foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
GIhFOK listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
'u6n,yRm course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
a&u!KAQ dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
0 KA@]! never undermines the content.
hP$5>G(3 5 hW#BB Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
\s7/` appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
/4KHf3Nr Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
kc<5wY_t Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
lLLPvW[Q to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
gnw">H by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
A[m<xtm5K Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.

]Ok So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
b(t8TR#- a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
~Gl5O`w( found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
FT!X r a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
