A View from 3rd Street

A View from 3rd Street is the second solo album from the singer-songwriter Jude Cole. Released by Reprise Records on March 27, 1990, three years after his self-titled debut, the album was supported by Cole's biggest single, "Baby, It's Tonight", which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. A follow-up single, "Time for Letting Go" peaked within the top 40 of the chart, while the third single, "House Full of Reasons", entered the top 70. A View from 3rd Street was met with largely positive critical response, although its commercial response was lukewarm, only peaking at number 138 on the Billboard 200 (on the issue dated June 5, 1990). It became Cole's first and highest-charting album.

Production was handled by Canadian record producer David Tyson, who won "Producer of the Year" at the 1991 Juno Awards for his work on the album. Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus released a cover of "Time for Letting Go" in 1998, which entered Billboard's US Hot Country chart.
