New Album Available December 2!
 

Known the world over as the inimitable Voice of Freehold, Roper Crossburn has been performing Biblically correct, spiritually stirring country music for over thirty years. His reputation as an industry icon grows with each release. A Crossburn album is not just a work of art—it is a true cultural event.

His latest studio LP, Burn This Way, arrives December 2.

Attachment 17591

In many ways it is a typical Crossburn release: passionate, pointed, angry and yet filled with hope for the return of Jesus Christ. But the circumstances of its creation are unique.

"My last record was about Obama," says the singer, "and this one was supposed to be, too. They wouldn't let me do that, so I had to come up with other stuff."

Roper refers, of course, to the controversy and ensuing court case that dogged him after his previous album, 2010's bestselling Audacity of Rope, was alleged to contain death threats against the President. As part of Crossburn's plea bargain, he has been barred from making any mention of Obama in his songs. The result is an album broader in scope and ambition than any before it.

"I sing about fags a lot," Roper admits, "but my focus is really on sinners in general. Dope addicts, whores... there's all kinds of scum clogging up this country. When Jesus comes, he's gonna kill them all and we're gonna laugh watching them burn. I can't wait."

We can't wait, either—for the album.

Most incredible, perhaps, is the fact that over two thirds of it were recorded in a Canadian jail. Crossburn was incarcerated in Camrose, Alberta for eight months following a violent altercation at the Big Valley Jamboree, a country music festival at which he has performed seven times since 1994.

"He sucker-punched me," Crossburn says of music critic Geoff Zales, whom the singer partially blinded after gouging his eye with a spork. "He made like he was gonna walk away, and then he hit me. I had every right to defend myself."

Crossburn confessed to having started the incident when he accused Zales of sodomizing his own 7-year-old son, with both the youngster and Mrs. Zales present. However, he maintains he was right to do so in response to a scathing review the critic published in 2007. Whatever the facts, recording in the confines of the jail was a special challenge for Roper.

"They let me have my guitar for an hour every day, and they watched me the whole time. They were afraid I might use the strings to strangle my cellmate. I probably would have, too. The guy was obviously a fag."

Like Crossburn's previous nine albums, Burn This Way has been produced by the legendary Stan T. Chisum and will be released by Landover Baptist Records, with a not-to-be missed autograph signing at Ted's Bible and Music Store on the day of the album's release. It certainly is an exciting time to be a Christian music fan.

"I still owe about $14,000 in legal fees," says Crossburn. "Please buy this record."

The track listing is as follows:
CDs and vinyl will retail at $16.99. All vinyl purchases include a free digital download from the Landover Baptist Records website.

Stay tuned this weekend for an exclusive audio interview with Mr. Crossburn, including a preview of the new album. Another major announcement, sure to delight fans both old and new, is also forthcoming.

If this is anywhere near as good as your Audacity of Rope Album, nicknamed Hang Him, High and Mighty down at the barber shop I will be getting mine on the release day. I also want to buy it early as you never know when Roper will be singing [and living] his blues hit Bail me out of Jail, I heard Jesus call. The boy must love meatloaf Monday in the Des Moines lock up.

Wonderful! I'd like to pre-order 24 for Christmas gifts. Do you accept Visa?

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Sign me up. I assume if I buy one copy, there is no problem having my kids make copies. $16.99 X all my kids adds up pretty fast.

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Excellent! That will allow me to listen to your amazing music on my jPhone. By the way, when will I get back that chainsaw you borrowed?

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Obviously I didn't write all that, but it gets the point across well enough. This is probably the best record I've ever heard. Billy Bob Jenkins laid down some vocals for a couple tracks and there's also a duet in there with my wife Rosalie-Ann on the one called the Rapture Song.

There ought to be plenty of copies for everyone. Just go to the Landover records site and you can pre-order. Takes five minutes.

It's gunked up and ain't running properly. I'm a gentleman so I'm gonna take it in for repairs before I give it back.

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Obviously a Must Have for all True Christians :thumbsup:

Brother, will you be adding that bonus track, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Walmart?"

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

I also love the old favorite: 'He came upon a midnight queer, so Jesus killed him!'

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

It must have been that dreadful "Midnight Cowboy" :(

Or maybe even Shane :fear2:

It said up there that another big announcement was coming. Well, here it is.



Attachment 17613

One of the most "exhilarating, supercharged" action films of the year (Steve Turner, Freehold Trumpet) is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on March 7.

Glory Films, in association with Landover Baptist Entertainment, present DEADLY KILL.

John Bible (played by country music legend Roper Crossburn in his film debut) is the toughest cop in the LAPD. But he's more than just tough. As a devout follower of Jesus Christ, he has the unfailing moral righteousness to stand up to crime wherever it may fester, and the firepower to send the bad guys straight to Hell. When Bible uncovers a secret gay sex ring in the force that extends to the highest levels of authority, he refuses to keep quiet... so his enemies silence him themselves.

Or so they think.

Gunned down and left for dead in the LA River, Bible still breathes—the shot to the heart that would have killed him deflected by the King James Bible in his shirt pocket. He's found by a group of peace-loving hippies and nursed back to health. But now he's got a bigger problem. These hippies are not what they seem, and when Bible awakens, he finds himself in a radical Marxist commune where the Good Book is banned and interracial gay marriage is not just allowed—it's mandatory, backed up by a sentence of death. Forced to surrender his Bible and anus or his life, Bible chooses a third option. He fights.

As guns blaze and blood splatters, reports of the violence reach Bible's enemies on the force. They know all too well that they failed to snuff him out—but they don't intend to fail again. Now, an elite squad of gay assassins is headed for the epicenter of the carnage... and in the three-sided confrontation ahead, the streets of Los Angeles will run red with AIDS-tainted blood.

DEADLY KILL is "an exhilarating, supercharged action ride that hurtles like a freight train toward its thrilling conclusion" (Steve Turner, Freehold Trumpet) and an explosive debut for Roper Crossburn, whose "physical presence and steely-eyed stoicism call to mind Robert Ginty." (Steve Turner, Freehold Trumpet) You don't want to miss a second of it.

DEADLY KILL is rated R for graphic brutal violence and sadistic torture throughout, language, and sexual content. Due occasional profanity and homosexual themes, it is not recommended for very young children.

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Wow! Deadly Kill sounds like the most mindblowing experience in exhilarating thrills since Hetero Terror Squad VI!

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

But having seen some clips, I can say that it is, nevertheless a Godly movie, it makes one think what it must be like when God hands your soul to Satan.

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

I am just so Angry. I was in Walmart this very day, November 8, and the Good News!™ is that they finally put on the Christmas music.

The bad news is that well known homer!sexural athian communiss! Bing Crosby was singing it.

Even worse, I didn't see Brother Crossburn's Godly album anywhere.

Probably that silly Greeter is Hogging them all for his self :(

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Brother, I didn't think anyone could possibly do better than you last "Here Comes the Son" Ablum, but this was far exceeds it.

I give this album 2 thumbs way up! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'd like to order 2 dozen copies for my friends and family for Christmas. Could you please autograph them with some about how much you like my pie?

~~~~Swoon~~~ :wub:

BLESSINGS!

Your adoring fan,

Sister Thumper

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

Will the movie be available on Super 8? The only Blu Ray player is in my personal office and none of my family is allowed in there.

Re: New Album Available December 2!
 

The thing was shot on digital and we couldn't afford to show it at the pictures. So that's a no. There's a Salvation Army over in the colored part of town that ought to have some old DVD machines for ten bucks or so.

Daisy, I appreciate the kind words as always. I'm gonna assume you're talking about the single and the previews up on GodTunes, because illegal downloading is theft and the Bible says thieves go straight to Hell. You're a good Christian lady so I know you wouldn't do that.

Autographed copies are $18.99. If you've got the money, I'll put whatever you want on there. I surely do enjoy digging into your pies, to say the least.
