~<s %/o8-N|_[ From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
4_E{ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
^hhJ6E_W selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
_BV'J92. 9oK#n'hjb I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
=!b<@
41 cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
G02(dj more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
|[tlR`A $ Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
s^]F4' Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
WvN!8*XFM Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
y^#jM music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
8#9di methods.
L)5YX-? obzdH:S Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
Z;'5A2 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
%]"eN{Uvn foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
n{*A<-v
L listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
p;xMudM course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
NflwmMJ dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
E'g?44vyw never undermines the content.
.DrGr:UW ?1afW)`a.v Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
!(H
RP9 appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
f%[0}.wp Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
U;w|
=vM Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
(fqU73 to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
TxA%{0 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
;{j@ia Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
~rfUqM]I ]broU%#" So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
+T8h jOkC a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
z*ly`-! found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
D~Rv"Hh a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
prw% )#, (that'll be the title track, then).
