Sunny Side of the Street is the second studio album by Bryn Haworth, released in 1975 on the Island label.[1]
Interviewed in 2009, Haworth commented on the album opening with the gospel song 'Good Job': ".. I thought it was a great track. I thought, I've never heard anything like this before. I'd been listening to Andraé Crouch and all the Blind Boys stuff because there was nothing to listen to when you became a Christian back then so you'd go back in time. Andre Crouch: Live At Carnegie Hall was the best album that I'd heard at that time and then you went back to The Blind Boys and all the black gospel stuff and I thought, this is what I relate to because it's like R&B. My roots are more R&B roots; old style. So it started to come out in things like 'Good Job'."[2]
The album was recorded at Island Studios, Hammersmith and Sound Techniques, Chelsea, London.
The original cardboard inner sleeve for the vinyl record is printed, on both sides, with multicoloured stripes to match the shop-front awning illustration of the front cover.
