From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 9nN$%(EO5;  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum N =FX3Z  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . U-&dn%Sq  
*](maF~%C  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical M_ lQ^7/  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather DO` K_B  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish bFD vCF  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why Ta8;   
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes gG*]|>M JI  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the @T BcVHy  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious v'na{"  
methods. (&t741DN|

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave Aj#bhv  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and 8S/SXyS  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the q$RJ3{Sf  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the @`
t#Bi9  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing m.!n|_}]  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that rHYSS0*3  
never undermines the content. \vwsRT 1

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his n@%Q 2_  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton }9=X*'BO  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang jEU`ko_  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much B}S!l>.z  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off E&>3{uZI  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of 8.JFQ/)i  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. 5\!t!FL_

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is b-!+Q)  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the OeM I  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With :)JIKP%$\)  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure ]? 2xS?vd
