Best known as a character actor in Western radio and TV, Andy Devine was the sidekick of the greatest stars in Hollywood. Born in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1905, Devine's career was almost derailed before it began—a childhood accident damaged his vocal cords, leaving him with a high, squeaky voice that sounded like "a steam calliope with a broken key." What should have been a liability became his greatest asset, making him one of the most recognizable voices in Old Time Radio. This extensive collection of 357 recordings spans more than 161 hours, capturing Devine's warm, comic presence across a remarkable range of programs from the 1930s through the 1950s.
