The Ballad of Boogie Christ is the tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, released on June 11, 2013 on Real World and Lonely Astronaut Records.

A concept album, The Ballad of Boogie Christ follows "a fictionalized character loosely based on [Arthur’s] own journey,"[1] and was funded by a PledgeMusic campaign.

Regarding the album's narrative, Arthur noted, "I don't know that there's a beginning, middle and end to the story, but there are definitely experiences, situations, and perspectives that point in those directions.

"[3] Allmusic's Thom Jurek gave the album a positive review, writing: "[Arthur's] always tried so hard to capture the heat of the moment in the studio, that he can get sloppy, thus blunting impact.

"[5] Megan Pacella, writing for American Songwriter, also gave the album a positive review, stating: "The Ballad of Boogie Christ" weaves beautiful narratives in and out of folksy numbers and rock songs, adding a layered palette of horn solos and soulful back-up singers.
