Calvin johnson what was me


What Was Me is the first solo record by K Records founder and Beat Happening member Calvin Johnson. It is a sparse record with most of the tracks containing only voice and guitar. Calvin duets with fellow Pacific Northwestern musician Mirah on "Ode To St. Valentine" and Beth Ditto, the lead singer of The Gossip, on "Lightnin' Rod for Jesus." What Was Me is a very sparse record, with an acoustic guitar being the only instrument used and a few of the tracks being a capella.
