From Australia with love Jordie Lane follows in the great tradition of traveling folkies like Neil Young and Gram Parsons. Catch him while you can. Jordie Lane hears no evil, speaks none too. "Growing up, my dad was a clown and my mom was a comedian, so the idea of performing wasn't foreign to me," says Australian folk-singer Jordie Lane. "But the idea of being a rock star, I didn't even know what that was." Then, when he was 10, a new kid moved to Lane's school, sharing with him records by The Beatles, Van Morrison and The Boss, which began Lane's obsession with musicianship.
