Going Down to the River is a debut album by American country music singer, songwriter and guitarist Doug Seegers.

Seegers, a struggling street artist in Nashville, Tennessee, basically lived as a homeless musician,[1] when he became known to the Swedish public.

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

Johnson and one of her guest musicians Magnus Carlson loved Doug Seegers singing performance so much that they returned some time later and offered to record the song with him.

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.
