From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 
;b5^)S  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum 8I}
ATc  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . 'uW&ADp  
S`Xx('!/|  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical WK.K-bd  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather /HE{8b7n3F  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish s $JO3-)  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why h]]B@~  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes 8U%y[2sT  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the /u&7!>,  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious  nb\pBl  
methods. o zMn8@R

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave czLY+I;V3  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and FfX*bqy
 
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the Eb7GiRT#  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the =D`:2k~ ,  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing &X6hOc:``\  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that l[6lXR&|  
never undermines the content.  \62!{

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his 2xBYJoF(  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton yf2P6b\  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Eq=j+ch7  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much goOw.~dZ'  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off #l 6QE=:  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of gh-i|i,  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. n}dLf g*

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is GvBmh.  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the fizL_`uMqb  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With &bigLe  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure !E6QED"  
(that'll be the title track, then). Khh}flRy
