From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka \8_V(lU   
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum h=f6~5l5  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . 2oNV=b[

I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical )y\BY8  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather T0L+z/N_m.  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish $y6rvQ 2>S

Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes >6K4b/.5w

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave , ,{6m d  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and RdkU2Y}V  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the XIN5a~[z*  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the `V~LV<v5  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing ~j}J<4&OvC

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his QJM(UfHUD  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton c9|a$^I6  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang El1:?4;  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much O2@" w23  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off 9 d] tjT

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is LI:?Y_r  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the 49y*xMn  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With _s@bz|yqw  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure {*nEKPq(_*
