The Road to Ruin is a 1970 album released by husband and wife John and Beverley Martyn. It was the second album released as a duo, after which Island Records persuaded John Martyn to resume his solo career as they believed that the public were more interested in John as a solo artist rather than as part of a duo. The album marked the first collaboration on record between John and bassist Danny Thompson, who featured on many of Martyn's subsequent recordings.
