Erik Jacobsen recorded these blues songs as an audition demo with Tim, John Sebastian, Sticks Evans, and Bob Bushnell for Columbia Records in 1964. They were not issued until 1969 when Verve Forecast released them as if they were newly recorded. The songs are in a straightahead blues style. Hardin recorded a similar set of much better songs about the same time which Atco released as This is Tim Hardin.

In his review for Allmusic, music critic Jim Newsom wrote "... the album holds some interest as a historical document... This is not essential listening by any means, but it's pleasant enough to hear on a lazy, cloud-covered afternoon."[1]
