Roads of Life is the twelfth studio album by American musician Bobby Womack. It was released in 1979 by Arista Records. It was dedicated to his late son Truth Womack (January 27, 1978 – June 2, 1978). The album was Bobby Womack's only album for Arista Records. It reached number 55 on the Top Soul Albums charts.
The Bay State Banner noted that "most of Womack's ... session choices are California jazz men whose preoccupations are far from the vernacular vamping you hear in progressive disco boogie or the baroque elegance of such Chicago soul dreams as Tyrone Davis and Peabo Bryson songs."[1]
