This Beautiful Life is the third studio album by the swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. It was released in 1999 on Coolsville/Interscope Records.

Critical reception

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." The Los Angeles Times thought that "there is some predictable, Krupa-esque drumming, and little attempt to push the genre in any new directions."
