Roots Reggae [1970s Style] Guinep Lane – Who Learn Me That | Full Album

Eight things one woman knows, ordered by how much the person who taught her actually meant to teach her. It starts with her mother, who sat her down on purpose for eleven years, and it runs downhill from there: a neighbour who charged for it in errands, a schoolteacher who went past her job, an uncle who knew he was being watched and never said so, a man at the market who robbed her twice and taught her more than the honest ones, a sister who left in the night, and a liar she gave four years to who still does not know what he left behind. 00:00:00 - My Mother Sat Me Down 00:03:54 - Miss Vie and the Machine 00:07:31 - The Teacher Who Stayed Back 00:11:11 - From the Doorway 00:14:32 - The Man at the Market 00:18:33 - What My Sister Never Said 00:22:39 - Four Years of It 00:26:27 - Nobody Learn Me This Album notes: the axis is intent, not affection, and it produces an order nobody would choose. The most deliberate teacher on the record is at the top and the most useful lesson is near the bottom, and the woman singing does not resolve that or apologise for it. Track five says plainly that a cheat taught her to count change and she has used it every week for fifty years. Track seven refuses the tidy version out loud: he did not give her a gift, he left a mess and she built with it, and there is no lesson here about the bad thing being good. Track eight is the only one with nobody's name on it. Twenty years of getting it wrong in rooms taught her how to tell somebody a hard thing without lying to them and without breaking them, and it is the only thing on the record she ever set out to teach. It ends at a kitchen table on a Sunday with a nineteen-year-old practising a hard sentence on her, and she does what her mother did, which is not talking. The bass clarinet is the teacher. It states a phrase and she answers it; across the record its phrase gets shorter and her answer arrives sooner, and on the last track the order inverts and she sings first. That is never explained in any lyric. One female lead voice throughout, alone, no harmony and no backing vocal anywhere. One drop, offbeat guitar chop, fat analog bass and warm organ, 1970s Kingston analog production. Tempos climb 94 to 108 as the intent falls away.
