Lonesome Standard Time is an album released in 1992 by American country music artist Kathy Mattea. Her seventh studio album, it was also her fourth to receive an RIAA gold certification, although none of its singles were Top Ten country hits. The title track was its lead-off single, peaking at #11 on Hot Country Songs, followed by the Top 20 "Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst)", then "Seeds" (her first single since 1985 to miss the Top 40) and "Listen to the Radio", which also failed to make Top 40.
