Stormcock

Stormcock (1971) is an album by English singer-songwriter Roy Harper that showcases extended, acoustic-based compositions blending progressive folk and British folk rock. The record features richly detailed, poetic lyrics and expansive arrangements that incorporate orchestral textures by composer David Bedford alongside Harper's fingerpicked guitar and occasional electric touches. Its long-form songs emphasize mood, lyrical narrative, and instrumental interplay, making it a clear example of Harper's ambitious, folk-rooted work from the early 1970s.
