about

Mr. Tater hung out at Delta Recording Service in Clarksdale, Mississippi, during almost every recording session. When he was listed as "Studio Manager" on the Elvis Costello record we worked on, the title stuck. Tater would encourage and befriend everyone who was working on their records, and there would always come that moment when he was in the tracking room, leading the visiting band in a song. I knew what to do when this happened; pop a fresh tape in and hit record as fast as I could. Eventually, we would compile enough songs to make a record, but during this time period I realized we had enough to make a double-album!


There's a lot to take note of on this album, but one thing that always impressed me was that you could give Tater an instrument like a banjo or mandolin (which he had never played before) and he could still make it sound very similar to when he played guitar. I think this had to do with his strumming patterns, which really drove his solo pieces.

Also, it's incredible to think he recorded a 14+ minute long solo protest song against the war that was happening at the time.
