Archie Roach
Let Love Rule
Liberation Music
Archie Roach’s tenth record
is a gem. At its core is the theme of love, but overall it’s an eleven
song-long message of hope, “what I wish for” as Roach himself says. Covering a
range of styles, Let Love Rule
centres around his deep and rough-edged voice, the mainstay through these songs
which paint vivid pictures of a theme which in no way seems clichéd or overused,
not in Roach’s hands anyway.
The addition of the Dhungala
Children’s Choir and the Short Black Opera Choir on the title track and No More
Bleeding is a masterstroke; Jen Anderson’s violin throughout plays a pivotal
role; the songwriting is poignant and as strong as ever, on an album which fair
oozes soul and honesty.
