Seegers,doug - Going Down To The River - Music CD

Doug Seegers' 2014 debut solo album GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER is raw, rootsy and emotionally charged. A brilliant 62-year-old singer who struggled with homelessness for years, Seegers found acclaim when Swedish music star Jill Johnson discovered him in a Nashville food pantry. The two subsequently recorded a duet that climbed to the top of the music charts in Sweden. This remarkable project - produced by Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Kate Campbell) at Nashville's legendary Sound Emporium studios - features collaborations with multi-Grammy winners Buddy Miller and Emmylou Harris, both whom have championed the formerly down-and-out singer. This personal, introspective album includes ten Seeger originals and two covers, including a duet with Harris on the Gram Parsons original 'She.' the album examines the full gamut of emotions from lonely despair to exalted salvation and melds such diverse moods as a Texas swing dance floor gem ('Hard Working Man') to woe-is-me lament ('Pour Me') to shuffling honky-tonk ('Baby Lost Her Way Home Again')
