Before they were The Taters, they were Burnt Taters. Vox Box was their first demo CD, recorded in 3 days in the drummer's garage! It was selected in March 1999 as a Billboard Magazine Critic's Choice. Here's the review:
Billboard Magazine, March 1999
---------
With a deft touch for gleaning the best of American roots rock and rockabilly - and delivering it with thoroughly modern, totally hip sensibilities - Burnt Taters shine on a dozen strong originals and two well-chosen covers. As delightfully derivative as they are impressively imaginative and inventive, the Taters lay often-stunning vocals over an airtight rhythm section, spiced with smoking acoustic guitar leads and licks. A given for roots-music formats, with strong shots at modern rock and college stations as well. Give these guys a budget and a suitably sharp, empathetic producer (Pete Anderson, T Bone Burnett, Dave Edmunds), and you could be talking breakout 2000 material. Majors would do well to give a serious listen.

Consistant with all Tater releases--Great
An excellent Record
author: David Klug, Blue Suede NewsRichmond, Virginia's Burnt Taters take Fifties rock 'n' roll near to country and not unlike the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison did back in their day, and Nick Lowe and the Spanic Boys do now. Well-ordered rhythm tracks with exquisite melodies and harmony singing abound. The Taters include Craig Evans, Brad Tucker and George Garret. With Vox Box they've made an excellent record.
