Hot Tuna began as a
means of relaxation for Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady while on tour
with Jefferson Airplane, eventually becoming a separate entity within
that band to the point of performing as its opening act. In the
beginning, Hot Tuna would play in the style of electric Chicago blues
often augmented by Airplane members, such represented by a cover of B.B.
King's "Rock Me Baby" on the live Airplane album Bless Its Pointed
Little Head. For their first album, Kaukonen and Casady decided on a
semi-acoustic set rooted in the country blues of the pre-World War II
era.
The Reverend Gary Davis had been an early influence on Kaukonen,
and two of his songs were included on the album, with an additional
pair included on the 1996 reissue. Casady and Kaukonen demonstrated
their familiarity with Dixieland and ragtime as well as blues by the
inclusion of "Hesitation Blues," recorded by the Victor Military Band in
1916, and the inclusion of two numbers attributed to Jelly Roll Morton.
They also ignored any purist notions of the Delta blues with their
cover of "How Long Blues" by Leroy Carr, who not only was not from the
Mississippi Delta and did not play guitar, but was also one of the
commercial urban blues successes of the 1930s.
In 1996, RCA reissued
the album on compact disc with five bonus tracks recorded at the same
time. The box set Hot Tuna in a Can included this version along with
remasters of the band's subsequent four albums First Pull Up Then Pull
Down, Burgers, America's Choice and Hoppkorv. The box set is also out of
print.
In 2012, Iconoclassic Records remastered and reissued the
album with a bonus disc of 13 more tracks - the entire set that was
performed on the evening of September 19, 1969 - from the same September
period in 1969 as the original disc. This set was mastered by Vic
Anesini, and includes an essay from Airplane biographer Jeff Tamarkin.
