Outstanding Talent, 2008-01-09
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, 2007-12-14
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!
Wonderful., 2008-01-19
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.
buy it, 2008-06-02
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!, 2008-03-10
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.
