From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 8euh]+  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum vp_$Ft-R  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . GQvJj4LJp  
G^6\OOSy  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical jwW6m@+  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather M,WC+")Z=  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish /q eSR3WC  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why Q|1X|_hs  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes ;A3aUN;"I  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the V!3.MQM  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious MV,;l94?%=  
methods. (d@ =

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave KDW=x4*p  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and ~_YU%y  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the t'F_1P^*

listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the KJf~9w9U  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing ;~>E^0M  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that G}lP'9/  
never undermines the content. XgfaTX*

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his W:8*Z8?7  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton =.]>,N`C  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang D{](5?$`|  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much \qrSJ=}t  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off _/W[=c   
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of :.-z) C}  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. +q==Y/ z

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is 5pBQ~m3  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the ICD(#m  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With !OJ@ =y`i  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure jhWNMu  
(that'll be the title track, then). 8+&] q#W3
