Crusader is the fourth album by British-Irish singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh, released in 1979 by A&M Records. The album was produced by Andrew Powell, who worked with the Alan Parsons Project on many of their albums. The musicians on Crusader also came from the Alan Parsons Project.
In a review for AllMusic, Mike DeGagne gave Crusader four out of five stars and described the title track as the album's "crowning glory" and also "one of de Burgh's finest songs", despite its historically inaccurate lyrics. He went on to say that "Even though [the title track] bears most of this album's weight, the rest of the songs aren't without their merit".
All songs written by Chris de Burgh.
