Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Butter Boy is found...and he's Rocking!.......2003-05-10

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.
