Crusades of the Restless Knights is an album full of spiritual references - not just to the devil but also to ghosts, angels, baptisms, crosses, dead poets, femme fatales and untrustworthy Bible salesman. And over the course of the 10 songs, Ray pulls off something that is very rarely done - he sings of spiritual matters without becoming cynical, reactionary, sentimental or otherwise humorless. It's simply the best album he's ever made.
