DkWp CP7Fe{P From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
8B GZ Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
<U3X4)r selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
@vl$[Z| !8G)`' I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
&Gt{9# cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
B'yjMY![
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
[BE_^d5& Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
_.JQ h Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
H,%bKl# Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
a&%aads music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
~0p8joOH methods.
?,pwYT0g q=X<QhK Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
"KIY+7@S} can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
hju^x8
,=m foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
Fe!MA listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
8$}<4 `39 course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
> Z+*tq dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
Y+"1'W never undermines the content.
C!+D]7\j @7nZjrH Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
63oe0T& appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
PLz{EQ[cV Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
k?fz @H8D( Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
j#//U2VdN to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
A]bQUWt2 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
D)-LZbPa Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
;U'\"N9 3=
=["hO So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
8!2)=8|f a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
d_`MS@2 found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
')q0VaohC a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
NZ1B#PG,c (that'll be the title track, then).
