Jackie Lomax’s 1969 album Is This What You Want? on Apple Records didn’t fall too far from The Beatles’ family tree; George Harrison mixed it, and every Beatle but John Lennon played on it. Yet 1971’s Home Is in My Head sounds more like Lomax, who self-produced it. From the first song, “Give All You’ve Got,” everything here sounds harder and weirder. In between albums, Lomax had played and recorded with the short-lived prog band Heavy Jelly before relocating to Woodstock, N.Y.—which seeped into the following “A Hundred Mountains,” a backwoods boogie-rocker that sounds like Lomax had been listening to Bob Dylan and The Band before rolling tape. “When I Miss You the Most” is a slower-burning soul rocker that makes good use of playing a slide guitar through the rotating Leslie speaker of a Hammond organ to achieve some subtly backwoods psychedelia. The groovy title track cranks up the blues-rock to sound like a more refined Deep Purple, while “She Took Me Higher” filters Lomax’s blue-eyed soul through sonic accessories trimmed in equal parts funk and soul.
