Roy Harper is an Englishman whose songs are a celebration of life itself. Stormcock is the best intoduction to this great artist's work. The provocative intensity of his lyrics(in the spirit of Bob Dylan)combined with the matching drive of his performance("The Same Old Rock", and the beautiful love song "Me And My Woman,") makes Stormcock an album that grows richer with the passage of time, and each listening will reveal some new facet to the listener. This album is pure poetic magic.
