An Excellent Day To Fly by Ellis Clark & Big Parade is a delightful album that offers a refreshing take on Americana music. The album features eleven tracks that showcase the band's versatility and musical prowess.

The album starts with the upbeat and catchy "Cactus Flower," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Ellis Clark's soulful vocals are complemented by the band's tight instrumentation, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique.
