7ZMu bDh(;%= From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
0c;"bA0>Sx Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
H&Lbdu~E selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
W:( Usy Mn{Rg>X I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
j9fL0$+FI cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
^@w1Z{: more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish

cj< Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
ez9M]! 8Lt Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
xupdjT%4 Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
?[fl$EG music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
Uz8C!L ">C methods.
l:C0:m% l|QFNW[i Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
z+B can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and

% foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
`2~E
a_Z listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
]CJ>iS!V course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
aj-uk(r dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
bL#TR;*] never undermines the content.
<6@NgSFz' Oua/NF) Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
.4)P=* appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
x};g!FYfkB Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
s OHAW*+ Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
}pZnWK+ to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
(I 0t*Se by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
2F(\ }%UT~ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
_)H+..= 2Rp{]s$jo So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
M@86u^80 a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
|,~A9 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
BPs
& a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
