STORMCOCK

Not only was the legendary folk singer immortalized by led zeppelin in the song "hats off to (roy) harper"; he also sang lead vocals on the pink floyd track "have a cigar" featured on the album "wish you were here". roy harper's angelic voice and incendiary guitar work make for an explosive combination. "stormcock" is his masterpiece, and worth a listen at any price. Singer/songwriter albums don't get any better than this; words, playing, singing are all top- notch, and he stretches the boundaries of songwriting and genre while he does it. Roy's got some albums that are nearly as good, but he doesn't get any better than Stormcock. I can't rate this album, lower than on 5 stars. Totally essential
