That's how I first heard of him as well. Someone mentioned he was a Monroe style player so I searched out some of his recordings. I don't exactly hear it but he does have a great right hand and good timing. I have a version of him playing southern flavor that's pretty cool. I think he plays an f sharp note in the a section that I don't really care for but it's still cool. I think some of tater's strict standards are rubbing off on me. It's great.
