About Rock 'N' Roll Heart: Ian was back at Mountain Sound Studio in Mid-Wales last Summer 2000 laying down 12 new backing tracks for his latest album "Rock 'N' Roll Heart". Two Nashville musicians, Jeff "Stick" Davis, "The Amazing Rhythm Aces" bass player, and Pat McInerney, drummer with "The Blue Moon Orchestra", Nanci Griffith"s band, both flew over from the States especially for the project. Ian then flew back to Nashville, Tennessee in November 2000 where the rest of the album was recorded and mixed. Russell Smith, The Amazing Rhythm Aces singer and Nanci Griffith are both featured singing with Ian whilst Clive Gregson who used to be in Any Trouble and The Richard Thompson Band for many years and who now lives in Nashville plays most of the electric guitar and keyboards. The other musicians featured are top Nashville session players like Ronnie McCoury, James Hooker (Nanci's MD), Joey Mesculin, Michael Snow, Brook Langton, Chas Williams and Michael Webb. Ian's girl backing singers were "The Chiclets" (Cathryn Craig and LeAnn Etheridge). Jack Clement's studio in Nashville was mostly used for the project. Cowboy Jack's is the place where Johnny Cash did a lot of his recording in the past.
The engineer in charge of recording and mixing was David "Fergie" Ferguson who has worked with the "man in black" for many years, and who only recently finished the recording and engineering of Johnny"s latest album "Cash".
 Ian Gomm - no stranger to the music business. To date Ian Gomm has recorded 10 solo albums and 12 solo singles.
In the late sixties, Ian always led three-piece line-ups. He performed around the West London R&B circuit in clubs and pubs, as were Alexis Korner and the embryonic Rolling Stones, his band supporting new groups such as The Who, Pink Floyd and The Move. In 1979 the album named "Gomm with the Wind" was released on Stiff/Epic Records in North America. A single from the album "Hold On" took off on college radio and eventually climbed to number 12 in the U.S. Hot 100. For over 5 months he toured and played all the top venues in the U.S. attracting audiences of 20,000 or more. Firstly supporting Dire Straits on their "Sultans Of Swing" tour, then quickly followed by his own sell out U.S. solo tour. Chart topping country star Glen Campbell covered Ian's song "Hooked On Love" from this album. |
