Review

G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II is an excellent single-disc collection of World War II hits, both those related to the action ("G.I. Jive," "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin, " "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer"), and much simpler fare ("Tangerine, " "Rum and Coca-Cola, " "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe"). Each is the original artist and version. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
