About this album
The Road To Ruin is a striking example of early-1970s British folk-rock, defined by John and Beverley Martyn’s close vocal interplay and understated acoustic writing. Issued in 1970, it reflects the period when personal songwriting and pastoral arrangements were reshaping rock into something more intimate and reflective. The album’s gentle, often wistful mood is balanced by clear melodic craft and a distinctly domestic chemistry between the two singers, which gives the songs their emotional pull. Heard alongside the era’s best singer-songwriter work, it stands as one of the Martyns’ most graceful and revealing collaborations.
