Out of the Cradle is the third solo album by American singer/songwriter Lindsey Buckingham.[8] Released in 1992, it was Buckingham's first album after his departure from Fleetwood Mac, in 1987 (though Buckingham rejoined the band in 1997).[8] He named the album after Walt Whitman's poem "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking."[9] The album reached #128 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, #51 on the UK Albums Chart, and #70 on the Canada Albums Chart. In Canada, four singles charted within the top 60.

Ten of the songs on the album (counting "Instrumental Introduction To") were included on Solo Anthology: The Best of Lindsey Buckingham.
