Biography

Long before the Jerky Boys, Crank Yankers, or Roy D. Mercer picked up the telephone, prankster John Bean was making crank calls and recording them. Recorded in the late '70s and early '80s, these tapes became known as "The Redneck Tapes" thanks to the southern fried character Bean assumed, the "Whup Ass Man" LeRoy Mercer. These tapes would be passed around among truckers, record store clerks, and… Read more in Amazon's John Bean Store

Product Details


Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The official digitally re-mastered version of recordings made in the late 70s and early 80s by a man who, up until now, has been a mystery. Alternately called "The Redneck Tapes", "Whup Ass Man", or "Leroy Speaks", these prank calls are legendary among truckers, country stars, and record shop employees, and they capture a true genius of psychological manipulation at work. From FBI informant to crazed ex-lawyer to jailed con artist, the rumors surrounding the author of these masterpieces created a figure larger than life. Know this: the author is a born prankster named John Bean, who died in the early 80s.
