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 spawned Cole's biggest single, "Baby, It's Tonight", which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's follow-up single, "Time for Letting Go" peaked within the top 40 of the chart, while its third, "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 mediocre, only peaking at number 138 on the Billboard 200 (on the issue dated June 5, 1990). It became Cole's first and highest entry on the chart. [4]

Production was handled by Canadian record producer David Tyson, who won the Jack Richardson Producer of the Year Award 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 Hot Country Songs chart.
