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.
