about

This is the first compilation album that Tater produced. From about 2004-2007, Mr Tater was known as the "Studio Manager" of Delta Recording Service in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He would visit and hang out in the control booth during tracking. Eventually, he would sit in with the bands and they would inevitably cut some of the most exciting material of their project with Mr Tater. Some of these bands have been lost to memory. However, fans of Tater's work owes a great debt to these scores of musicians who took the time to let Mr Tater lead them.
