Background and content

Two for the Show was recorded in several sessions between September 1971 and October 1972 in sessions produced by Owen Bradley. The recording sessions were held at his studio, Bradley's Barn, which was located in Mount Juliet, Tennessee.[2] The album consisted of 11 tracks, all of which were recorded as vocal duets between Greene and Seely.[1] The album's sixth track, "It Just Doesn't Seem to Matter", was self-penned by Seely. Hank Cochran, Seely's then-husband, contributed to the composition of five tracks included on the album. Among these tracks was the single "What in the World Has Gone Wrong with Our Love".[1] Two for the Show was Greene and Seely's second studio album together. In the past three years, the duo had enjoyed a successful album and road show.[2]
