After Brinsley Schwarz folded, Gomm moved to
Wales, where he built his own
recording studio and
recorded sessions by
The Stranglers,
Amon Düül, and
Alexis Korner. He also released his own
solo debut
album,
Summer Holiday in 1978. The following year,
Stiff/
Epic issued the album retitled as
Gomm with the Wind in the
United States. From it he scored a
Top 40 hit on the
U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1979, with the
song "Hold On". This led to a
gig supporting
Dire Straits on their
Sultans of Swing tour.
Gomm also co-wrote with
Nick Lowe the song, "Cruel to be Kind", a Top 20 hit in the
UK Singles Chart for Lowe also in 1979.
"Hold On" has been featured as
bumper music on the
Coast to Coast AM radio show.
Subsequent solo albums included
What a Blow,
The Village Voice (which included "Louise," a song that became
Phil Everly's first solo hit) and 1986's
Images, his final release of the
1980s. Gomm spent the rest of the decade building a new studio, Mountain Sound, and writing more songs.
Producing and
engineering work kept him busy until 1997, when he released
Crazy for You. In 2000, he returned to the
studio with Jeff "Stick" Davis of the
Amazing Rhythm Aces, plus Pat McInerney of
Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra, to record
Rock 'N' Roll Heart. It was released in 2002.
