You're Only Lonely is the third album by American singer-songwriter JD Souther, released in 1979.

"White Rhythm & Blues" was covered by Linda Ronstadt on her album Living in the USA.

In 1992, George Strait covered "The Last in Love", for the soundtrack to the film Pure Country.

The New York Times concluded that "Souther's trouble is that his voice simply isn't very interesting, at least in a folk-rock context on recording.

"[2] In his retrospective review for AllMusic, critic William Ruhlmann praised "White Rhythm and Blues" as well as the solo version of the Souther–Hillman–Furay Band song "Trouble in Paradise".
