From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka (
T=u_oe  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum >xIb|Yp)&  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . )Xice=x9  
]1|OQYG  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical (xMq(g  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather

more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish F[~~fm_  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why k3& /Ei5  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes $~'G<YYF4  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the !>6`+$=U

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave /7K7o8g  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and *xDV8iu_  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the sxPvi0>  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the 8D`TN8[W  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing R{{?wr6b$  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that XZj3x',;  
never undermines the content. @[j%V ynf

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his Q*R9OF  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton qex::Qf  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang jN!sLW  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much ``Rg0o  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off CiIIlE4  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of :<xf'.  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. X92I==-w

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is j.KV:zJU  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ^[1Xl7)`  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With BJnysQ  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure 9&1$\ZH  
(that'll be the title track, then). A2I\T,Z
