From Illinois to Culleybacky, Co Antrim, Duke Special (aka 0O5(\8jM  
Peter Wilson) has fashioned a follow-up to his multi-platinum $<xa "aN!  
selling Songs from the Deep Forest . ROw9l!YF  
f
RS)YE@a:  
I Never Thought . . . resonates with equal amounts of musical F@~zVu3'  
cajoling and lyrical honesty. The mood throughout is rather @)owj^sA  
more sombre. Just check out the song titles ( Mockingbird Wish uQIa"u7  
Me Luck , Those Proverbs We Made in the Winter Must End , Why EZlcpCS  
Does Anybody Love? , By the Skin of My Teeth , Nothing Comes Ou/JN+2A  
Easy , Nothin' You Can Do Can Bring Me Around ). Still, the X458%)G!(K  
music is several steps above even Special's fastidious ^@5#jS2  
methods. V4@HIM

Not even the ska-driven jauntiness of Digging an Early Grave <!gq9  
can take away from the overall sense of morbidity and +0lvQVdp}  
foreboding that, curiously, never threatens to spoil the f4eLnY  
listening pleasure. This could be because Wilson has, over the ~Y]*TP  
course of three albums, engineered the knack of mixing yyCx;  
dispiriting topics with a surefooted musical approach that 7v\K,P8  
never undermines the content. #Q320}]{

Some people don't get Duke Special. They are put off by his ?L.c~w;l  
appearance, which resembles a blend of Catweazle, a Grafton qC<!!473?  
Street busker and the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang MW&ww14  
Bang . They're also confused by his music, which owes as much Gc6`]7 s  
to burlesque and music hall as it does to pop. Those put off Ip_S8 ;;  
by such superficialities miss the most important aspect of
&d/v/Y  
Wilson's shtick: his forensic attention to detail. ^3`CP4DT

So forget the gender-skewing dreadlocks and eyeliner. Here is p%Zx<=f-_  
a guy who matches the lost art of the popular song with the F=}-ngx8&  
found sound of swirling pop/rock and symphony orchestras. With CYlZ<W'  
a bit of Bridie Gallagher thrown in for good Irish measure V *2=S  
(that'll be the title track, then). nFE0y3GD8
