Calvin Johnson must be having some sort of identity crisis, given that his voice is a complete homage to Hazlewood's.

I had just picked up that MGM Recordings 2-CD retrospective earlier this year. ("My Baby Cried All Night Long" is my favorite song by him.) Hazlewood may be known for his low voice and his Nancy affiliation, but he was responsible for a lot of rhythmic greatness in the 60s overall, as he dwarfed anyone else as far as being "that guy who produced and recorded almost anything in the 60s." To me, this is big news, albeit not surprising.
