F%<hng%k XnBpL6"T` From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
R['k&jyi Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
3>jL7sh%| selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
* &iSW~s ?hW?w$
C I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
mn5"kYy? cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
v\LcZt`} more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
D'dE!CAUs Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
lP9XqQ( Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
?k6PH"M Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
v7;zce/~ music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
t")+L{ methods.
,(%?j]_P2 W6kDQ&q Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
m5m'ByX(* can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
/U|> foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
T?p'R listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
95`Q=I|i course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
81O\BO.T dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
f?-=&||f78 never undermines the content.
:'\4%D=w me-:A:si Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
W%/lBkP appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
yMdAe>@ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
q\PHA Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
NPN* k]. to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
QuJ~h}k by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
SUSam/xeg" Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
|FF"vRi8a7 f87>ul!* So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
(-lu#hJ`&r a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
Dy>U=(S found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
Jk$XL<t a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
wm3fd7T (that'll be the title track, then).
