Editor's note

Jackie Lomax, a Liverpool voice in the shadows

A singer and guitarist from the early 1960s Merseybeat scene who recorded solo albums into the 1970s.

For a sense of his later sound, try 'How The Web Was Woven' or 'Sunset'. They're quiet, well-made songs from a guy who kept at it.

He came up in Liverpool around the same time as The Beatles, and his first album 'Is This What You Want?' in 1967 had a song like 'Sour Milk Sea' that got some notice. Later tracks such as 'How The Web Was Woven' and 'Sunset' show a songwriter with a steady, moody touch, and his material was covered by other artists even if he never broke big.

He started in local bands like The Undertakers and briefly joined The Hollies before going solo. After signing with EMI, he put out albums through the early 1970s, including 'The Lomax Connection' and 'Travelogue', working with musicians like drummer Brian Hodson.

Archive material and source history

Jackie Lomax was a singer and guitarist from Liverpool who came up in the early 1960s. He was briefly part of The Undertakers, a local band that would later back The Beatles. In 1963 he joined The Hollies, but left after a couple of years to go solo.

He signed with EMI and put out his first album, 'Is This What You Want?', in 1967. Songs like 'Sour Milk Sea' from that record got some attention, though the big hit mentioned in some bios, '(Put Some) Rhythm In Your Blues', doesn't appear in his main catalog here. His later work included tracks such as 'Sunset', 'So Unhappy', and 'How The Web Was Woven'.

Lomax kept recording through the early 1970s, with albums like 'The Lomax Connection' and 'Travelogue'. He worked with musicians including drummer Brian Hodson and guitarist John Mooney. While he never became a household name, his voice and songwriting had a following, and some of his material was later covered by other artists.
