The
follow-up to Rock Bottom, for which Wyatt had written all of the music
and lyrics, Ruth... consisted of Wyatt's adaptations and arrangements of
other people's music (either friends – Phil Manzanera, Fred Frith,
Mongezi Feza, former Wilde Flowers bandmate Brian Hopper – or influences
– Charlie Haden) with Wyatt adding his own lyrics in much the same way
as he had done on Matching Mole's Little Red Record. Apart from "Sonia",
recorded for the shelved "Yesterday Man" single in October 1974 (again
with Nick Mason as producer), the entire album was recorded and mixed at
Virgin's The Manor Studio with Wyatt himself handling production
duties. Much of the album features Wyatt (on lead vocals and keyboards)
backed by a "band" consisting of bassist Bill MacCormick, drummer Laurie
Allan and saxophonists George Khan and Gary Windo, with Brian Eno
adding his own idiosyncratic "anti-jazz" touch.
Two years earlier
Wyatt had provided the hypnotic soundtrack to the experimental film
Solar Flares by Arthur Johns. The nine-minute film, "a personal essay on
colour effects", had been produced by Nick Mason and recorded at his
home studio. Wyatt had been involved at an early stage and his music was
central to the project. The music itself would reappear on his 1975
album "in a more 'digestible' form".
