Johnny Rebel is the pseudonym of Cajun/country musician Clifford Joseph Trahan (born October 3, 1938), also known as Pee Wee Trahan. Trahan has used this pseudonym most notably on racist recordings issued in the 1960s on J. D. “Jay” Miller’s Reb Rebel label of Crowley, Louisiana.

His songs frequently use the racial epithet nigger and often voice sympathy for Jim Crow-era segregation and the Ku Klux Klan. Nearly all his songs serve as platforms for denigrating African Americans and the civil rights movement.[2]

Trahan first recorded under the Johnny Rebel moniker in the mid-1960s, when the civil rights movement and black empowerment movement reached their zeniths. He employed J. D. “Jay” Miller’s recording studio in Crowley, Louisiana. Miller, in fact, produced the sessions and issued the recordings on his own Reb Rebel label.
