Two songs with Wade in the Water influences may be worth a listen:

• Sistah Lala’s “Troubled Waters” version is HERE – a really nice combination of traditional and faith-filled message in this one
• Chapel Folk’s “Wade in the Water – a Stoned version” is HERE

Want to hear more traditional versions? It’s also been performed by hundreds of groups including these

• HERE‘s a version by the Jubilee Singers from Fisk University
• HERE‘s another by Sweet Honey in the Rock
