John Hammond: So Many Roads

The Complete Sessions

[Front cover] [Back cover] [Inside cover 1] [Inside cover 2] [Inside cover 3] [Inside cover 4]

2001 re-release of Hammond's So Many Roads, featuring Robbie, Levon and Garth.

This is yet another repackaging of John Hammond material that includes several of our boys as backing musicians. This one is called So Many Roads - The Complete Sessions. It is 1 CD in a LP style cardboard cover. This collection includes 24 tracks total which includes not only the original LP cuts plus the bonus cuts. This is likely not really the complete sessions as it includes other material and does not include everything from I Can Tell, which was released originally on Atlantic. But there has been some discussion in the GB about these sessions, e.g. how many and when. This release does not clarify much.
