This Beautiful Life is the third studio album by the swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.[3] It was released in 1999 on Coolsville/Interscope Records.[4]
The Washington Post wrote that the album "borrows not only from swing but even more so from jump-blues and more recent roots-rock to provide a mongrelized, horn-fueled vehicle for Scotty Morris's songs."[5] The Los Angeles Times thought that "there is some predictable, Krupa-esque drumming, and little attempt to push the genre in any new directions."[2]
All tracks are written by Scotty Morris, except where noted.
