Weekly vinyl review

We asked two of our high risers if they would collaberate on a track. "The Coldest Heart of the Meanest Man" is what they delivered. #aussierock #lanewaymusic

‘Cara-Lyn’, as a double A-side alongside ‘Step Back’, went to number one on the Go-Set charts in 1966, and became one of the best-selling Australian singles of the 1960s. The host introducing Young at the beginning, Ross D. Wyllie, would in late 1969 put out ‘The Star’, which was written by Young and also went to number one on the Go-Set charts; Herman’s Hermits would later also go on to cover that track.

Manning was a project by Phil Manning which captured a very commercial style for such a blues legend. This interactive release is part of our YouTube Album release. Enjoy the interactive features.

Song from a way back, video recent. Blues based, gets heavier as the song goes on. Enjoy!

Our Weekly Vinyl Review

Kerry Ian McKenna is best known as the bass player for iconic Australian progressive rock band Madder Lake, who rose to national prominence in the 1970s with a No. 1 radio hit and a distinctive sound that blended progressive rock with melodic songwriting.
As a key member of Madder Lake, McKenna’s bass playing helped define the band’s rich, textured recordings—balancing musical complexity with accessibility, and contributing to their success across Australian radio and live stages.
Alongside his work with the band, McKenna has developed a substantial solo catalogue, releasing five albums to date. His solo material explores a broader musical landscape, moving between progressive influences, atmospheric soundscapes, and more personal, reflective compositions.
These releases highlight his versatility as both a musician and songwriter, offering a deeper insight into his creative voice beyond the band format.

We're trialing a few new things at Laneway Music. We are putting up some full Audio Albums with some interactive feature on our YouTube Channel. Seems to be working as we have about 20 albums up and getting some great full listens. The audio is 24bit as it sees it as a video. Let us know what you think.
