"Going Down to the River" is a song written, composed and performed by American country music singer, songwriter and guitarist Doug Seegers.

[1] On 17 December 2012, Aaron Espe an American singer-songwriter and record producer based in Nashville uploaded a live 1 minute 11 second rendition of Seegers singing "Going Down to the River" to his own YouTube account.

[2][3] Jills veranda was a 6-episode SVT TV series recorded in Nashville, where Johnson and six Swedish artists explore the city.

At the time the program was recording, its presenters Jill Johnson and Magnus Carlson and the production team from Eyeworks met Seegers who was sitting on a park bench in Nashville.

The album had collaborations from Emmylou Harris[1] in a cover of Gram Parsons' hit "She" and Buddy Miller a friend of Seegers' from his Austin days in "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight".
