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...

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.
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.
With exceptions I haven't heard this level of songwriting for some time.
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!
You will not be disappointed with this album. I doubt I could choose a personal highlight, there are too many.

Outstanding Talent
Like others, bought this after seeing them support Crowded House. The songs are very inventive and the hooks really get into your head.
The best album that I heard in 2007.
Can't wait for the follow up

Just stunning
I accidentally had the pleasure of seeing Duke Special supporting Crowded House in Birmingham. His live performance and his band blew me away. I ordered the album the very next day and can say I haven't stopped listening to it. If you're going to buy a version of the album get this one as it contains a live set on disc 2 which is purely mesmerising.

In a world of pop idols and X-factors it's so utterly reassuring to see such a talent slowly bubble up to the top.

I would recomend this album to anyone who likes good music. It never lets you down, it always makes you sing, smile, think, and occasionally shed a tear, just sublime, thank you Duke for writing this and letting me have the privelege of hearing it.

I hope there's more to come!
