Originally titled "What About Me", "THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING" is Anne Murray's first album, originally released in 1968 on Canada's tiny Arc label.
The folk arrangements bring the acoustic guitar to the foreground, and Murray's confident vocals show that she was already fully developed as a singer.
"There Goes My Everything" ventures into folk-rock territory, but most of the music, which includes songs by Tom Paxton and Joni Mitchell, is in the tradition of the Canadian folk scene associated with Gordon Lightfoot and Ian & Sylvia.
Murray's mature performances make her debut nearly as appealing as her better-known major-label recordings.
(Pickwick was the first of many labels to reissued her Arc recordings for the American market.)
