about

This album is a departure from Andrew Neil's last two studio albums. This album is a lo-fi live in the Studio Production and just includes Andrew and his Nylon Strong Guitar with a few keyboard overdubs.
The Great Kathy McCarty, of the famed Alternative Art Rock Group, "Glass Eye" and close friend and colleague of the Great Songwriter and artist Daniel Johnston, has this to say about "Sunny Side"

"Andrew Neil’s SUNNY SIDE is a revelation. The outpouring of melody and counterpoint is deeply affecting, seeming to come directly from a heart so genuine that it is almost too pure for this world. His simple, direct lyrics can seem almost too plain; but then you find them reverberating in your mind for days afterward. This is a songwriter who will find his audience, as Daniel Johnston did. There is nothing that can stop someone so focused on the songs that seem to find expression through him alone." Kathy McCarty
