Album Description Classic children's music from the 1950s! Known to millions as Mr. Green jeans from the Captain Kangaroo TV show, Lumpy Brannum recorded these charming stories about Orley's adventures on his family farm. Accompanied by the skillful orchestrations of Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians, Uncle Lumpy originally performed the stories for radio, TV and on several popular Decca records. Uncle Lumpy uses clever word play and humor to convey subtle but important life lessons. Brannum's wry storytelling combines a loving "Beverly Hillbillies"-style view of rural life with the slick production of 1950s radio orchestra production. Over the years, the Little Orley stories have achieved a cult status and have been sought after by collectors for many years. Often requested on the Dr. Demento radio show, nostalgic fans can still quote the dialogue of their favorite Orley story. Uncle Goose Toys is pleased to revive this long out-of-print children's favorite. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsOld timey radio stories for new generation L. Meniketti | Michigan | 04/14/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "My husband mentioned listening to Little Orley stories as a little kid and loving them. Now we have a 4 year old and I hunted the albums down for her as well as for my husband's nostalgia. They have been very popular in our family- especially for long car rides. In the 4 hour ride to the airport, our daughter picked Little Orley CD over DVD's. The stories are funny little fantasy vignettes about a little kid and the creatures or things around him that have a life of their own- like the poison ivy singing about catching Orley or the "yellow soap" that chants about coming to save him from ivy. There are little "morals" or punchlines to the stories which are generally still acceptable to a modern audience. There are a few things which date the stories, but nothing offensive or racist (unlike old Bugs Bunny and the like!). Our daughter has been happy listening to the stories repeatedly." Children of all ages 02/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "these two classic kids album from the 1940's will be great for todays kids ages 2 to 6. On the other hand old hippies from the sixties are defied to listen to Little orlie and the bubblegum while in an herbed state"
