It's difficult to listen to this album without recalling that Lankester was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer the day before he was due to mix its final track.
Lankester is one of those hard-working musicians whose CV includes everything from supporting BB King to busking in Ibiza and playing piano for Linda Gail Lewis. Originally a medical school drop-out, he later qualified as an osteopath - he's seen life. Song In A Minor Key is his moment, and he doesn't let go.
