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:( Usy

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 _ ~$0 cj<  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why ez9M]! 8Lt  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes xupdjT%4  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the ?[fl$EG  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious Uz8C!L ">C  
methods. l:C0:m%

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave

can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and =,;3z/k %  
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'

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 sOH
AW*+  
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+..=

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 J)&
