Along with Picasso and Miro, I was infatuated with Max Ernst and his art. Even did a term paper on him and Peggy Guggenheim&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this was the second (and last) album made by John and Beverly Martyn on Island records. It&#8217;s really a shame they couldn&#8217;t do more together, but nothing lasts forever. The upside is that it introduced Danny Thompson to the band on bass. He stayed with John until the end. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE ROAD TO RUIN I&#8217;m referring to the John and Beverley Martyn UK Island record from 1970 with a Max Ernst engraving on the cover and engineering by John Wood.
