By the time this record was made, Louis Prima had pretty much evolved the approach for which he would be known throughout the rest of his career: high energy swing-oriented music laced with irreverent or nonsense lyrics sung by Prima and sometime by his female sidekick, who would eventually, and spectacularly, be Keely Smith. "Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well" pretty much fits that mold, and is an okay but unexceptional example of his usual work. "You Gotta See Baby Tonight...", on the other hand, is a stellar example of what Prima could do when he settled down a little bit and let his softer side out. He plays a beautiful extended trumpet solo wrapped around a pensively delivered vocal and some sensitive guitar work. The band's pianist also contributes a notable solo. None of contains even a smidgeon of Prima's usual raucousness and the track almost glows as a result. I would have bought this one for the B side and it probably would have set me up for disappointments well into the future, in spite of my liking the basic Prima show as well as most people.

 Flipped sides and adjusted slholzer's comment because "Who Threw The Whiskey In The Well?" was definitely meant as the A-side after it had become a notable hit for the Lucky Millinder Orchestra featuring Wynonie Harris (#1 on the R&B charts for 8 weeks, #7 on the pop charts).

 The vocal on Side A is by Prima and the Band. The mx. is T545. The vocal on side B is by Louis Prima. The Mx is T546.
