Grover Sings the Blues was one of a series of character-centered Sesame Street albums released in 1974. Although some of the material comes from the earlier Columbia and Warner Brothers albums, some tracks appear here for the first time. This album was later released as part of the 2-LP set Just the Two of Us. The album was made available for the first time on CD on the 3-disc set Old School: Volume 2 in 2010, along with The Year of Roosevelt Franklin and The Count Counts.
