Portrait
Poetic and rather sweet, Duke Special’s first release on V2 sweeps the listener back to the music halls of the ‘20s. There are shades of, among others, George Gershwin. But witty and charming lyrics add a modern appeal. The result is a record that will appeal to fans of The Divine Comedy. Throughout, Duke’s saving grace is his ability to inject some fun into his playing.
