Review by Raegan Hill

White Cross On Okinawa is a classic country album that showcases the immense talent of Jimmy Wakely and his Sunshine Girls, along with Texas Jim Lewis and his Lone Star Cowboys. The album features a mix of upbeat and melancholic tracks that capture the essence of country music.

The opening track, "White Cross On Okinawa," is a poignant tribute to fallen soldiers and sets the tone for the rest of the album. The harmonies between Wakely and the Sunshine Girls are particularly noteworthy on this track. "When It's Springtime In The Rockies" is another standout track that showcases Wakely's smooth vocals and the Lone Star Cowboys' impressive instrumental skills.

The album also features a number of classic country covers, including "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" and "My Blue Ridge Mountain Home." The arrangements on these tracks are faithful to the original recordings, while still allowing Wakely and his collaborators to put their own stamp on the songs.
