Songs from Venice Beach is a compilation album by the American musician Ted Hawkins, released in 1995.

[7] The Edmonton Journal thought that "the material is almost beside the point because this is as gritty and soulful as blues roots music gets.

"[12] The Calgary Herald declared that "the supreme soulfulness of Hawkins versions of everything from 'There Stands The Glass' and Cooke's 'Good Times' to Curtis Mayfield's 'Gypsy Woman' and Brook Benton's 'I Got What I Wanted' will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

"[14] The North County Times praised the "simple acoustic guitar strumming behind his crystal-clear vocals.

"[11] AllMusic wrote that Hawkins combined "every form of roots music imaginable into his own singular soulful stew.
