Sunday Street is an album by American folk and blues singer Dave Van Ronk, released in 1976.

History

Sunday Street is Van Ronk and his guitar only. He takes on some ragtime with favorites such as The Pearls and Maple Leaf Rag as well as a return to more traditional folk and blues.

Sunday Street was re-released on CD in 1999.

Reception

Allmusic stated in their review "Van Ronk never hid his influences, but he never sounded exactly like them, either, and on this album he was very much himself. Maybe it is his greatest single album; it is certainly one of his most representative."
