The Next Hundred Years is a 1994 album by Ted Hawkins.[6] It was the last album released during Hawkins's lifetime.[7] The Washington Post called it one of 1994's best albums.[8]
Critical reception
[edit]AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars (out of 5), with reviewer Bill Dahl calling it "a far weaker outing than what came before, largely due to a plodding band unwisely inserted behind Hawkins that tends to distract rather than enhance his impassioned vocals and rich acoustic guitar strumming."[3] The Los Angeles Times called The Next Hundred Years "an album of strange and wonderful beauty."[2]
