"Think 'Beatles For Sale', if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins..."
- No Depression

The Taters play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, country, skiffle & Americana, a sound that's been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, and Nick Lowe.

Writing in Billboard magazine, critic Gordon Ely described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time... Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own".

"The connection between singer-bassist Craig Evans and guitarist Brad Tucker goes back more than 20 years. That kind of knowledge and interplay is responsible for the crisp harmonies and infectious hooks of the band's old school roots-pop"
    - Durham Herald-Sun

Country roots-pop, dashed with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, like a curious, accidental mix of the Mavericks, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and the Beatles - CD Baby

Jellyfish's Roger Joseph Manning Jr.
on "Sensory Lullabies"

"One of the unforeseen rewards of my years of investment in the world of Jellyfish has been the creation and release of the Sensory Lullabies tribute CD. Of the countless acts of gratitude our dedicated fans have given us over the last 17 years this is easily the grandest compliment. An affirmation that all of our hard work was not in vain and to the contributing artists I am forever grateful. So glad that Alan and Steve have provided a way to share these works of passion with the whole Jellyfish family!"
-ROGER JOSEPH MANNING JR.-

"excellent musicians with an ear for a catchy tune ... a radio-friendly appeal, much in the same vein as the Mavericks"
 americana-uk
"Children of the golden age of radio, the Taters grew up on AM's assorted diet of country, rock 'n roll, and R&B, and filter those influences into their eclectic and blissful roots pop."
Richmond.com
"For the retro-pop enthusiast among your friends, there's no better cure than a visit from The Taters. Their rootsy pop-rock works off the Bakersfield country twang of Buck Owens and the vocal warmth of Roy Orbison or the Everly Brothers."
Durham Herald-Sun
"Once a Tater fan, always a Tater fan!"
Billy Austin, Tater fan
Recess skims the cream off the top of the formative years of popular music and turns out a pristine collection of tunes for the rock and roll classicist. There's a little Buddy Holly in the playful stomp of "Required By Love," and some Spector-esque orchestral swells in "The Kiss." Evans and Tucker conjure early minstrels like the Everly Brothers with their gorgeous vocal harmonies on "On Our Own." Add to that a bevy of boogie riffs, Spanish guitar trills, crisp drum beats, organ skirls, doo-wop vocals, a pedal steel, violin and a pair of well-placed finger cymbals and you've got yourself a record that serves up some serious meat with its taters.
