How Big'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 5 by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 01/26/1999)
"How Big'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 5" (01/26/1999) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Virgin Records (USA)Roy D. Mercer: Brent Douglas, Phil Stone. Recorded at KMOD Studios, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recording information: KMOD Studios, Tulsa, OK. This is sophisticated country comedy with a twist. Based around Roy D. Mercer's "prank" phone calls, it is hard to figure out if Mercer is serious or not. You can't help but feel sorry for the people on the other end of the phone line, as it seems many are unsuspecting victims. "Modelin' Job," "Septic Tank," and "Spring Fever" are a hoot. ~ Jana Pendragon Pray you never get a call from Roy D. Mercer. If you do, hang on for a wild ride. The creation of radio jocks Brent Douglas and Phil Stone in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mercer is the best leg-puller south of the Mason Dixon line. On this fifth volume of their hit comedy series, the boys ensnare their victims with a phone call from Roy, who's hoppin' mad about everything from a stolen tape deck to a dog that acts like a sissy. The unsuspecting patsies usually buys the story hook, line and sinker as Mercer pushes their buttons with demands for monetary retribution and his favorite threat to "whup their ass!" Roy's mispronunciations and redneck temper make for some of the most hilarious prank calls in the history of drive-time radio. Finally, Brent and Phil let everybody off the hook with a huge belly laugh. As an added treat, four of Roy's "Fishin' Report" radio shorts are included here for more of the funniest redneck on the airwaves.

How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 4 by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 04/21/1998)
"How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 4" (04/21/1998) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Capitol Nashville RecordsRecording information: KMOD Studios, Tulsa, OK (1993-1997). By the fourth volume of How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, it was abundantly clear that Roy D. Mercer had found his formula and was sticking with it. Those prank phone calls sold records, after all, and even if Mercer ain't particularly funny, you can't argue with sales. Vol. 4 might be his best record to date, but that's a relative term -- he's still not gonna rank among the best country comedians or prank phone callers, no matter how much more consistent his records become. If you've found him funny before, you'll find him funny again. If you haven't, no phone calls will change your mind. ~ Thom Owens If anyone's ever threatened to "open a can of whup-ass" on you, you've got Roy D. Mercer to thank. Taking the example of his Yankee cousins The Jerky Boys one step further, Roy turns telephone terrorism into a service for hire, and has brought that expression into the American lexicon. Got an enemy? A friend who could use a scare? Give their number to Roy. Armed with just enough information about his victim, Roy calls them, usually at work, with a bizarre, unreasonable request related to their job. For example, here on HOW BIG A BOY ARE YA, VOLUME 4, he calls a photographer to take pictures of a recently deceased pet goat, harangues a veterinarian about a bill he's received for "teat reduction" on a Basset hound, and berates a pawn shop owner about a lice-ridden fur coat. Invariably met with confusion, Roy quickly escalates into physical threats, wherein he sizes up his opponent (hence the album titles) and utters the now-ubiquitous "whup-ass" line. Unlike his merciless compatriots to the north, however, Roy always lets down his disguise, telling his mark who put him up to it, and letting them in on the laugh.

The Family Album by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 07/30/2002)
"The Family Album" (07/30/2002) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Liberty (USA)Recorded at 97-5 KMOD Studios, Tulsa, Oklahomo. With ten Roy D. Mercer albums in the racks, plus a line of T-shirts and other merchandise mentioned in the CD booklet and even a website, it's hard to believe that anyone in the intended audience for the fictional prank-call creation of Tulsa, OK, radio comedians Brent Douglas and Phil Stone doesn't already know about him, which would make them impervious to the calls themselves. Simply put, the duo, primed by a family member or fellow worker, call up some unsuspecting person and adopt the persona of the belligerent country hick Roy D. Mercer, who is always waxing wroth about some absurd wrong that has been done to him (or, in the present case, a member of his family or a pet). Mercer demands money and then threatens to go over and beat up the listener. The fun comes in seeing how long he can fool his victim into thinking the call is serious. From the sound of The Family Album, the answer these days is, not very long. Almost from the start, the people on the other end of the phone seem to be giggling, and you can't help thinking that they're really all in on the joke at the outset, much as they claim to be outraged later on. To say that the concept is getting thin is to imply that it ever had any thickness. But it is becoming more fictional than ever. ~ William Ruhlmann With ten Roy D.

How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 7: Hangin' It Up by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 10/03/2000)
"How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 7: Hangin' It Up" (10/03/2000) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Virgin Records (USA)Personnel includes: Roy D. Mercer (spoken vocals); Darren Wilhite (Regis); Phil Stone (Zeerox The Myna Bird). Recorded at KMOD Studios, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recording information: KMOD Studios, Tulsa, OK. Illustrator: Andy Engel. Photographer: Nancy Lee Andrews. Often, the release of a greatest-hits collection signals the end of a particular phase of an artist's career -- and sometimes the prime of that career itself. Such is not the case with the seventh Roy D. Mercer album, How Big'A Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 7. There's nothing radically different here; it's the same sort of goofy prank-call mayhem as before, and the level of Mercer's material is pretty much right where it's always been. For those who liked the first six, come n' get it. ~ Steve Huey

How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 6 by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 10/19/1999)
"How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 6" (10/19/1999) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Virgin Records (USA)Personnel includes: Roy D. Mercer, Charlie Daniels. Producers: Brent Douglas, Phil Stone, Scott Rouse. How Big'A Boy Are Ya? Roy D. Mercer poses the question for a sixth time, and the results are no less hilarious than the first time it escaped his lips. This one features Mercer's first-ever single/video, and of course, it's the title track, now a song featuring Charlie Daniels. Another new feature on Vol. 6 is the "Roy D. Mercer Answering Machine Message," which fans can put on their own answering machines for a hilarious change of pace. But of course, the centerpiece is the prank-call comedy, and it's -- as David Byrne once said -- the same as it ever was. Which is to say, outrageously funny. You just don't hear things like "Bowling Ball Fungus," "Bury'd Cat," and "Stuper Glue" every day. ~ Steve Huey

How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 3 by Roy D. Mercer (Cassette - 10/21/1997)
"How Big 'a Boy Are Ya?, Vol. 3" (10/21/1997) Comedy Mercer, Roy D., Capitol Nashville RecordsProducers: Brent Douglas, Phil Stone, Scott Hendricks. Personnel: Hargus "Pig" Robbins (keyboards). Recording information: KMOD Studios, Tulsa, OK (1993-1996). As the country version of the Jerky Boys, Roy D. Mercer comes up short -- the Jerkys may have been profane, but they were actually fairly clever, and their initial records had some surprisingly sharp prank calls. Mercer, on the other hand, is a bit of a dullard. He knows how to make a prank call without being too vulgar, but he doesn't know how to make it funny. As a result, such routines as "Bad Apples," "Insurance Claim," "Auto Mechanic," and "Court Clerk" on How Big 'a Boy Are Ya, Vol. 3 start out promisingly and soon fall apart. That's nothing new -- the previous two volumes of How Big 'a Boy Are Ya suffered the same problems. What is new is Mercer's hinting at homophobia ("Jingle Fists") and the nagging suspicion that no matter how many times he does this (simple) routine, he's not gonna get any better. ~ Thom Owens
