POINT OF VIEW is the Title Track to CrossTown Band's Debut release on Alethea Records. A no-nonsense straight forward look at the Spiritual Truth of Jesus and the impact He made on the world. Initially self-released by the band, CrossTown was later signed to Alethea Records and the CD went through a "make-over" in graphic design, song order and song choices. It had a very positive effect on sales, popularity and Air Play plus Internet Radio plays. Then Versailles Records in Nashville placed both 'Point Of View' and 'To Die For Me (Live!)' on the Compilation CD 'Glory Rock Vol. 1 & 2' released nationally 11/25/2008 and available at Amazon.	THE LIGHT is the Title Track to CrossTown Band's Second release on Alethea Records. It is actually the very first "Christian Rock" song David Van Kleeck wrote. Composed in 1987, the song is unique because the lyrics are being sung as though from God to us all. So far we've found no other song to be written in this "first person" style, outside of what's known as the "Praise & Worship" genre. Maybe due to that reason the song THE LIGHT has drawn criticism similar to what we experienced with the song POINT OF VIEW. Many listeners, both secular and spiritual, have found certain lyrics and phrasings to be controversial and contentious. When asked about some of the more critical statements against these 2 songs, David replied simply; "I write the words and music exactly the way I feel it and do not care to filter the lyrics in order to please a wider audience. I can't imagine ever compromising what I feel or say in the songs I write for the sake of fame, fortune or wider acceptance."

CrossTown Band Biography Top of Page

CrossTown Band is a fusion of the classic Blues Rock sound with spiritual lyrics in a "Power Trio" format. With a sound both unique and familiar, they have been compared to such Artists as Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nickelback, Creed, Doughtry and Bad Company. Their music grabs you and the lyrics compel you to listen, again...
and again...

Their live performances include original songs and covers of the Classic Rock and Power Blues Rock Artists that have influenced them over the years. From these performances and countless "Recording Sessions", more than two dozen original songs began to take shape and the goal of recording and releasing a full length CD was born and, by the grace of God, attained!

CrossTown Band self-released "POINT OF VIEW" locally and via the Internet in 2002 and again July of 2003, selling out both CD runs in just under a year each. After such a moderately successful stint of Internet and Performance sales, they approached and officially signed with Alethea Records in 2004, locking themselves in the studio to finish writing and recording the NEW songs for their National Debut Album “POINT OF VIEW”, which is dedicated to Jason Edward Lasher, the son of Callie Van Kleeck and Kenneth Lasher.

2007 saw very exciting changes for CrossTown Band Band AND their fans! The addition of GAMMA, and Robin Trower Front Man/Lead Vocalist Davey Pattison is featured throughout the Album on Lead Vocals!

Long time friend and all around incredible person Derek Sutton, Robin Trower's Manager since 1978, has lent us his talents as Executive Producer for the Album, as has Davey Pattison. It was Derek who introduced CrossTown Band' s music to Davey, inquiring as to Davey's interest in lending his Gold and Platinum Album selling voice to CrossTown Band for the recording of multiple Album projects. Wonder of wonders in this incredible Universe, Davey was available AND interested!

What has been happening since is nothing short of miraculous! We're sure you will agree once you hear 'POINT OF VIEW', the BRAND NEW full-length debut CD from Davey Pattison & CrossTown Band, featuring Pete Thompson of Robin Trower on Drums!

The National Release of “POINT OF VIEW” happened during the Summer of 2009, and may include a tour throughout the Southwest starting in California and Arizona sometime in 2010.
