RUBY HUNTER - Feeling Good (2000)
Ruby Hunter is an Australian singer and songwriter. She is a member of the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal nationality, and often performs with her long life partner, Archie Roach.

Ruby Hunter was eight years old when she was taken from her Aboriginal family in South Australia and fostered by a white family, while Archie Roach was three years old when he was taken from his family. Years later they met at a Salvation Army centre and together they are two of Australia's most respected songwriters.

Ruby Hunter started her music career as a backing vocalist but soon began to forge a reputation as a leading performer in her own right. This led to the release of her first solo album Thoughts Within, the first solo album release by an Aboriginal woman in Australia.

Her second album Feeling Good saw Ruby named Female Performer of the Year at the Deadly Sounds National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Music Awards. She also played alongside Joan Armatrading, Tracy Chapman, and Bob Dylan, and performed at the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music Festival.
