Album artwork for What Was Me by Calvin Johnson

The first Calvin Johnson solo album, What Was Me, originally released in 2002, has been remastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering. What Was Me collects ten bits of lifeness and spreads them thickly with voice and acoustic guitar; a capella 40% of the time. There are patches that are worn and threadbare but the overall effect is gutty and moist. The affect is also noteworthy. Calvin is joined by the K divas Mirah on Ode to St. Valentine and Beth Ditto (the Gossip) on Lightnin’ Rod for Jesus.
