The Duke Is special
I saw Duke supporting Crowded House on their last visit to Bournemouth a couple of years ago - I was very impressed with his stage presence and liked a lot of his material so eventually bought a couple of his albums - this one definitley being the better. Cracking songs amazing music and voice - fab.

Duke's Special!
I've watched Duke Special singing "Portrait" many times on Performance channel without ever knowing his name. Then, " The Big Secret" on Rock-on-tv showed him singing 4 songs with his eccentric percussionist, Chip Bailey, so I bought "The Songs From The Deep Forest" cd which is excellent and I find it difficult to take out of the cd player. br / br /Duke Special is different enough to please me and writes good music lyrics, and he can play a bit!! br /Duke is a breath of fresh air in todays mush of awful popular music!

buy it
I made a beeline to see Duke at Guilfest 2007 having seen him on Jools Holland. They were fantastic live, and Chip on percussion with Duke was a great show. I still cannot believe they have not broken through to a bigger audience. This album is superb. If I was to compare to another I would suggest hints of early Billy Joel, but with an Ulster twang... br / br /Buy it and enjoy

Do yourself a favour...discover this!
It has been a long time since I heard an album full of such TALENT and ...UNIQUNESS...if there can be such a word.Inspirational lyrics, spiked to a delicious piquancy by an undisguised Belfast accent...tunes that get into your head and sometimes much, much more....moments of utter brilliance.I had no idea what to expect when I was given this album by my (surprisingly) perceptive son...it became apparant it was PERFECT within minutes of listening. br /Do yourself a favour...discover Duke Special.

Wonderful.
Joining a few other reviewers here, I first discovered the wonderful Duke Special supporting Crowded House recently, and the music instantly captivated me. The wonderful melodies, his beautful clear voice and lyrics of absolute genius. I bought this album straight away and like others I have barely listened to anything else since. br /With exceptions I haven't heard this level of songwriting for some time. br /The 2nd Disc really shows off just how beautifully an orchestra works with Duke's songs. Roll on the next album. I know alot of us cannot wait! br /You will not be disappointed with this album. I doubt I could choose a personal highlight, there are too many. br /
