A New Day Yesterday is the debut studio album by American blues rock musician Joe Bonamassa. Recorded at Pyramid Recording Studios in Ithaca, New York, it was released on October 24, 2000 by independent record label Okeh in tandem with Epic Records and 550 Music.
To mark the album's 20th anniversary, A New Day Yesterday was remixed, remastered and released in 2020 under the title A New Day Now: 20th Anniversary Edition. The reissue was produced by Kevin Shirley, features re-recorded vocal tracks, and includes three previously unreleased recordings from 1997 produced by Steven Van Zandt.
Taking its title from the song of the same name by British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, a recording of which is featured on the album, A New Day Yesterday features six original tracks written by Bonamassa and others, in addition to six cover versions of songs by classic blues and rock artists. The album was reviewed positively by critics, who praised Bonamassa's performances throughout on both the original and cover songs, identifying it as a strong debut release.
