Looking for Butter Boy

should have written this review years ago. I have been listening to Butterboy since its release. From the outset is this not the best cover to a CD you've ever seen, a picture speaks a thousand words, Looking for Butterboy, beautiful. You might have to listen to it all first to fully get it.The songs themselves are things to be treasured, Archie probably in his finest voice throughout his recording career. My favourites, the soaring Watching Over Me, just sing along and let it take you away, the wonderfully bluesy Reach for You, and A Child was Born Here, but also Give unto Ceasar and Louis St John, all original sounds, no commercialism here, soulful stuff, from the heart. Thank you Archie

Thanks, Malcolm Burn, for letting Archie rock! "Djabugai Lady," "Hold On Tight," and "Give Unto Caesar" break free in fine garage band fashion...but it's free of shallow adolescent pretences that one may associate with three-chord guitar music. Much of the record remains "folk music," but Archie is branching out into neighboring genres. I'm hoping to hear Archie sing more rock songs on future albums.Archie Roach is one of the English-speaking world's top-shelf songwriters and singers. Archie doesn't sing about "getting the girl" but about loving your wife...if you are man enough. Archie sings about protecting the children's home ("A Child Was Born Here"), about how a grandmother can inspire a boy to resist the stains of ethnic discrimination ("My Grandmother"), and praise the nurturing qualities of mothers ("My Mother's Heartbeat"). This is Archie again, as he did in the "Charcoal Lane" and "Jamu Dreaming" albums, singing about one of the most personal set of issues around -- our very own families.Archie's family journal comes with a soundtrack! Next comes the documentary film? I hope so...because more of the world needs to find Butter Boy...and listen to his stories.
