I knew Johnny Bean, September 3, 2004
This review is from: The Real Leroy Mercer is John Bean (Audio CD)
What you hear on the Cd is exactly what Johnny was: a prankster, a h-llraiser and just fun to be around. I think my favorite is the lady selling graveplots and Johnny sounds so interested and sincere. One of my favorite parts of it is that Johnny is using his brother's name---he always had a lot of mischief circulating in his brain. But "pigs" has to be a close second, with Johnny expressing so much concern that the pigs be "frisky" but what a calamity it would be if the pigs harmed the children. I have to admit that it irks me beyond belief that Roy D Mercer claims to have invented the character. Johnny died in 1984----when was Roy D Mercer's first recording released? Roy D Mercer (or whatever his name is )should be ahamed of themselves or at least admit they stole the idea from Johnny.

The funniest redneck humor ever., December 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Real Leroy Mercer is John Bean (Audio CD)
Funny beyond belief. This man had the quickest wit for raucous prank calls in the history of the art form. Mr. Bean was plagiarized almost totally by "Roy D. Mercer." Mr. Bean originally made a prank call entitled "Thom McAnn's" using the name Leroy Mercer (hence the plagiarism) concerning a man wanting a pair of boots to be replaced. Unfortunately for the recipient of his calls, the victim usually winds up in a heated debate with Mr. Bean and the result is hilarious. Mr. Bean has passed away and his sister has helped to preserve his contributions. Without a doubt, Mr. Bean was the inventor of the prank call regarding customer dissatisfaction. As an owner of one of the early "tapes", I was delighted to be able to purchase this C.D.

Brilliant , Quick witted!, April 29, 2002
This review is from: The Real Leroy Mercer is John Bean (Audio CD)
Not sure what Jay is talking about here? Poorly done? This is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Always wanted this on CD - THANKS! So many have tried to copy John Bean, very poorly I might add. Possibly Jay has never heard of the originals before. I have had so many people bring me other peoples recordings claiming to be Leroy Mercer, copying his stuff, some word for word, but none were ever close the real thing. There's just no mistaking the true genius of John Bean. This CD should be ranked as one of the best comedy albums of all time. I actually had the good fortune to meet and speak with Jeff Foxworthy when he did a comedy show locally, we talked for a good 5 minutes about THIS CD and how brilliant John Bean was. Don't be mislead! This is the real deal!
