		Roach himself is a victim of this violation to human rights.
		Archie Roach's dark, empathetic voice and his acoustic guitar dominate most of the songs which present stories of Indigenous people in a way which reminds me on Bruce Springsteen's "The ghost of Tom Joad" from 1996.

	Archie Roach, Australian Aboriginee and Musician Activist
		An Australian aborigine, Roach was forcibly adopted at the age of three and lodged with a White family as part of an assimilation project.
		Roach's music, like that of fellow adoptee Kev Carmody, is an angry exploration of what it means to be a dispossessed minority in Australia.
		Roach's message is not wholly negative, however; he has spent much time writing songs to alert aborigines to the dangers of alcohol and sexually transmitted diseases.

		Bob Geldof once stood in front of an audience of the Australian music industry and told them Archie Roach was one of the greatest songwriters in the world.
		This is his fourth album, and over the course of that journey, four albums in twelve years, Archie has grown both as a songwriter and a singer.
		But most of all we get Archie Roach at his best, caring, philosophical, melancholy, enlightening, proud and resolved to be what he is. 'Move It On' returns to his personal story, from his birthplace to being taken from his family and ending up on those streets.

		Archie roach and ruby hunter join forces with paul grabowsky and the australian art orchestra on the most exciting roots/jazz project out of australia in 06.
		Anyone familiar with the extraordinary music of Archie Roach and his wife Ruby Hunter will be fascinated by this collaboration with the Australian Art Orchestra, who provide the instrumental backing as Ruby and Archie take turns interpreting some of their best known songs, and some not so well known.
		Ruby's take on Down City Streets is a lot more edgy than Archie's joyful version from a few years ago, and I love her Held me up to the Moon (in my Grandfather's Hands) and its image of the newborn baby being kept warm in the ashes of a campfire.

	Roach, Archie - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Roach was one of the thousands of Aboriginal children stolen from their parents by the Australian government in an attempt to assimilate them into white society (see Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children).
		Roach had two failed placements after his indoctrination in an orphanage and then was placed aged nine with the Cox family (Scottish immigrants), where he learned music and grew up happy, although he was told untruths about his origins (his foster parents had been lied to by the authorities).
		When he was contacted by an older sister and learned the truth about his origins he went off the rails, and spent the next 14 years living rough on the streets and nearly killing himself with drink.

	CD review: "Looking for Butter Boy"
		Yet, even in his criticism of Western culture's values Roach is never preachy (maybe he could give lessons on that to U2's Bono) or condescending – instead, he reminds us of our own idealism, our own dreams.
		His third U.S. release, "Looking for Butter Boy," shows that Roach continues to grow artistically from his first two, "Charcoal Lane" and "Jamu Dreaming." He's more confident as a singer, more able to try something different and pull it off.
		And Roach's 13 new songs are all solid; a few are good enough to be covered by others.

		Archie Roach : Looking for Butter Boy - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Although Archie Roach's third album, Looking for Butter Boy, retains many of the same themes of parental separation and aboriginal pride of his early releases, it is a harder and more accessible record than his other albums, partially due to the presence of producer Malcolm Burn.
		What's important, however, is that Roach has retained his eye for lyrical detail and arresting melody, which makes Looking for Butter Boy yet another wonderful record from this underappreciated singer-songwriter.
