Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard

by Robert Wyatt

Following the profoundly emotional 'Rock Bottom', Robert Wyatt embraced a significantly more abstract, jazz-oriented direction for this delightfully eccentric follow-up. 'Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard' is a wonderfully playful, remarkably quirky Canterbury Scene record, exploring highly surreal, intensely repetitive avant-prog arrangements loaded with cryptic, distinctively British humor.
