The first of two volumes dating to the history and role of music in the experience of African-Americans, nothing but love in the waters of God explores how African American songs and singers helped to challenge slavery and oppression and oppression and overcome them.

Countless interviews, unique sources, and rare or lost recordings are used to test this incredibly convincing face of the movement. Nothing but love in the waters of God explains the historical importance of the song and helps us understand how music enabled the civil rights movement to challenge the most powerful nation on the planet.
