"The Sunnyside of the Street" comes from Hell's Ditch, the Pogues' 1990 album, and it was produced by Joe Strummer. Shane MacGowan wrote it with Jem Finer and sings the lead.
The whole folk arsenal gets a workout: Finer on banjo and lap steel, James Fearnley on accordion, Spider Stacy on tin whistle, Terry Woods on mandolin and Philip Chevron on acoustic guitar, with Darryl Hunt on bass and backing vocals and Andrew Ranken on drums. Paul Cobbold engineered. It's a rowdy, crowded sound, every acoustic instrument packed tight around MacGowan's voice.
