This Desert Life is the third studio album from American rock band Counting Crows. The cover art is by noted comic book artist Dave McKean, best known for his work with Neil Gaiman, and was adapted from the cover art McKean did for Gaiman's picture book The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish. The album had sold more than 2 million copies worldwide by February 2002.[8] The song "Hanginaround" was the first of three singles released from the album, and the highest-charting single off the album, reaching number 1 on the US Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart and number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as top ten in Canada and top 50 in a number of other countries.
The album contains the same personnel as the band's previous studio album, Recovering the Satellites, being David Bryson (guitar), Adam Duritz (vocals), Charlie Gillingham (keyboards), Matt Malley (bass), Ben Mize (drums) and Dan Vickrey (guitars), with multi-instrumentalist David Immerglück, who formerly was credited as a session player on the previous two albums, promoted to full member. It received generally positive reviews from critics.
Two years after the release of Counting Crows' second studio album, Recovering the Satellites, in 1998, the band collaborated with producers David Lowery and Dennis Herring in a rented house in Hollywood, Los Angeles to record their third album.[9] Describing the content of the album in comparison to other releases by the band, lead singer and primary song writer Adam Duritz remarked, "I think the first [album] was really about yearning for a change where you are, and I think the second album was very much about having gotten that change and being thrown up in the stratosphere and kind of come crashing down, and I think [This Desert Life] is about sort of recognizing that life is about confusion and change".[10] In addition, producer David Lowery also compared Counting Crows' past works from a more commercial aspect, stating, "Commercially it's been very successful for [Counting Crows] to be very introspective and sort of sad, so on this record, I thought we'd get a least a little bit of this humor and reverence to come through".
While writing and recording this album, the band used "Colorblind" in the soundtrack to Cruel Intentions and also the non-album track "Baby, I'm a Big Star Now" Rounders. The latter film did not have a soundtrack release and Duritz was concerned about having too many songs from this album released in other places, and when This Desert Life was finished, he could not find a way to sequence this track with the other songs, so it ended up being left off of any album.[11]
All songs written by Adam Duritz except as indicated.
The CD cover lists tracks one through five as "side one" and tracks six through ten as "side two". "Kid Things" is a hidden track as part of "St. Robinson in His Cadillac Dream". The vinyl release of this album also contains "Kid Things" as a hidden track along with another hidden track called "Baby I'm a Big Star Now", which is featured in the film Rounders.
"Colorblind" was featured in the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions and the 2014 film Mommy.
