qu|B4?Y/CR .|/~op4; From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka
"_`F\DGAZu Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum
$^@ ) selling Songs from the Deep Forest .
cq$i QcgfBsv96 I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical
|jM4E$
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather
Dgy]ae(Hb3 more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish
x:nKfY5 Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why
vsa92c@T Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes
+Z85HY{ Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the
Ek6MYc8<b~ music is several steps above even Special's fastidious
/Ml.}7& methods.
v'e[GB0 ;X?mmv' Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave
clk[ /'1 can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and
,mj@sC> foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the
~q~MoN<R listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the
%*
\es7m} course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing
z@w Mc
EH dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that
/ 4lvP never undermines the content.
%?m$`9yU -N"&/) Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his
D&S26jrZ appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton
#
0Lf<NZ Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang
;s52{>&F] Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much
Op_RzZ
P` to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off
H=\3Jj(4 by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
pZeE61c/ Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail.
k68F-e[i^ .B\ 5OI,] So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is
v;0|U:`] a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the
5Lf{8UxI found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With
wR^ RM(1 a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure
