Review by Lindsay Planer [-]


Although they are not one of the better-known San Francisco bands to have emerged from the ballroom circuit of the late 60s and early 70s, Its a Beautiful Day were no less memorable for their unique progressive rock style that contrasted well with the Bay Area psychedelic scene. Led by David LaFlamme (flute/violin/vocals) and his wife, Linda LaFlamme (keyboards), the six-piece unit on this album vacillates between light and ethereal pieces such as the lead-off cut, White Bird, to the heavier, prog rock-influenced Bombay Calling. One of the most distinct characteristics of Its a Beautiful Day is their instrumentation. The prominence of David LaFlamme -- former violin soloist with the Utah Symphony and original member of Dan Hicks His Hot Licks -- adds a refinement to Its a Beautiful Days sound. Likewise, the intricate melodies -- mostly composed by the LaFlammes -- are structured around the bands immense virtuosity, a prime example being the exquisitely haunting harpsichord-driven Girl With No Eyes. The noir framework, as well as lyrics such as ...shes just a reflection of all of the time Ive been high, point rather candidly to the hallucinogenic nature of the songs -- if not the bands -- influences. The same can be said of the languidly eerie Bulgaria. The almost chant-like quality of the track slowly crescendos into an hypnotic and dreamlike sonic journey -- led by LaFlammes brilliant violin work. By virtue of being a Bay Area fixture in the late 60s, Its a Beautiful Day could also easily double as a hippie dance band -- which they can also execute with great aplomb -- as the wildly up-tempo Time Is amply proves. Its a Beautiful Day remains as a timepiece and evidence of how sophisticated rock roll had become in the fertile environs of the San Francisco music scene.
