Background and content[edit]

There Goes My Everything came to be recorded through Greene's membership in Ernest Tubb's concert band. As a drummer and occasional vocalist, he was featured on Tubb's single, "The Last Letter", which brought him widespread attention.[2] The performance led to his contract with Decca Records, which spawned the recording of the album.[3] There Goes My Everything was recorded in several sessions starting in February 1965 and ending in November 1966. All sessions were held at Bradley's Barn, a studio owned by the album's producer, Owen Bradley. Bradley's Barn was located in Mount Juliet, Tennessee.[2] The album contained 12 songs, some of which were cover versions of hits previously recorded by other artists.[1] The third track was a cover of "Almost Persuaded" by David Houston. The seventh track was a cover of Buck Owens's "Together Again". The tenth track, "Here Comes My Baby", was recorded by Dottie West.[4][2]
