A successful comeback, at last, for one of the celebrities of the 1960s folk scene. Beverley Kutner knew and worked with everyone, was taught guitar by Bert Jansch and invited by Paul Simon to play at the Monterey festival. Then she married John Martyn. In 1970 they recorded two albums together, Stormbringer! and The Road to Ruin, after which he went solo and she stopped performing.
