"Lonely Street" was Andy Williams' sixth Cadence 12" long-play album, recorded and originally released in 1959. Lonely Street is concept much like Frank Sinatra's Only the Lonely in that it is filled with bleak torch songs. However, unlike the Sinatra Record, this LP is a very bluesy and jazzy.

The original liner notes stated that the tracks were hand picked by Williams himself, and were among his all-time favorite songs.
