About this album
So Many Roads is a strong early statement from John Paul Hammond, showing how fluently he could bridge country, Delta and Chicago blues traditions. Issued in 1965, the album finds Hammond working through material associated with blues standards and contemporary electric influence, giving the set a direct, rootsy force without losing finesse. His expressive guitar and vocal delivery helped establish him as one of the most compelling young interpreters in the blues revival, while the blend of acoustic feeling and urban grit gave the record lasting appeal.
