Its a Beautiful DayToday was released in 1973 as a transitional album issued under the Its a Beautiful Day name, but featuring an entirely different lineup from the groups original San Francisco psychedelic era. By this point, the band name was being used for a new ensemble led by Fred Webb and Tom Fowler, shifting the sound away from the violindriven psychedelic style of the late 1960s and toward bluesrock, countryrock, and early 70s singersongwriter influences.
The material is built around original compositions by Webb, Fowler, and bassist Bud Cockrell, with arrangements emphasizing electric piano, guitar, and vocal harmonies. Tracks such as Aint That Lovin You Baby, Ridin Thumb, and Creator reflect the albums blend of bluesbased rock and Southerntinged grooves. Columbias Canadian pressing mirrors the U.S. issue but carries domestic manufacturing credits and label variations specific to Columbia Records of Canada.
Although stylistically distinct from the bands earlier work, the album stands as a document of the groups later period and the shifting musical landscape of early1970s rock.
