"STRANGE BUT TRUE is an absolute winner" ---Billboard Magazine, July 8, 2000 "Think Beatles For Sale if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins... the Tater reference Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and Hank Williams in their songs. But they owe perhaps their greatest musical debt to Roy Orbison. Craig Evans' crystalline tenor deserves to be mentioned as a worthy heir to Orbison's legacy." ---No Depression, Nov. 2000 "The Taters display a deft touch for gleaning the very best of American roots-rock and rockabilly and delivering it with thoroughly modern, totally hip sensibilities." ---Billboard Magazine (review of 1st CD) "The trio combines classic country, classic rock and pure pop influences, and comes out with a mix similar to what you'd hear if Hank Williams and the Everly Brothers combined forces in the '90s." ---Bill Craig, Richmond Times Dispatch
