Nick Bob John failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at number 53 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

[1] The Kingston Trio (Nick Bob John) was the trio's first release on the Decca label after seven years, 19 albums and worldwide record sales in the tens of millions (three million on "Tom Dooley" alone) with Capitol Records.

The names are those of the Trio's members, Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, and John Stewart.

Two singles were released: "My Ramblin' Boy" b/w "Hope You Understand" and "I'm Going Home" b/w "Little Play Soldiers".

"I'm Going Home", by Fred Geis, remained a concert favorite of the Trio in this and future incarnations of the group, sometimes re-titled "California".
