A View from 3rd Street is the second solo album by American singer-songwriter Jude Cole. Released on March 27, 1990 by Reprise Records, 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 its third single, "House Full of Reasons", entered the top 70.
A View from 3rd Street was met with largely positive critical reception, 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.[1]
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 Billboards Hot Country Songs chart.
All songs written by Jude Cole except as noted.
Cole handles all vocals as well as lead, rhythm and acoustic guitars. He performs the bass sections of "House Full of Reasons", "Baby, It's Tonight" and "Prove Me Wrong", as well the piano on "Compared to Nothing".[2]
