Keith Jarrett – vocals, guitar, harmonica, soprano saxophone, recorder, piano, organ, electric bass, drums, tambourine, sistra
Unidentified string quartet (tracks 3 & 7-9)

"Restoration Ruin" is an album by Keith Jarrett on which he performs vocals, guitar, harmonica, soprano saxophone, recorder, piano, organ, electric bass, drums, tambourine and sistra, recorded and released on the Vortex label in 1968. The album and its folk rock attitude remain unique in his whole catalogue - though, it can be seen as the first part of his experimental circle which is neither jazz nor classical music. Here Jarrett overdubs himself on various instruments, similar to the tribal Spirits (1985) or especially the free funk No End (2013, recorded in 1986). "Sioux City Sue New" was released as a 45 rpm single, backed with "You're Fortunate."

キース・ジャレットが多重録音で作り上げたフォーク・アルバム。いまから思えば1985年の"Sprits"に近い世界です。
声もインパクトないし、耳に残るメロディがありませんが、なかなかフォーキーで味わい深い作品です。
しかし、なんて多彩な人なんでしょうか。。。
