Stormbringer!

Stormbringer! is a 1970 album released by John and Beverley Martyn. It has no connection to Michael Moorcock's 1965 Elric novel of the same name. John Martyn wrote six of the ten songs and Beverley four. The album was recorded under the direction of Paul Harris in Woodstock, New York.

Two of the tracks feature the drumming of Levon Helm, from the Band – who had an influence on John Martyn's music.
