“Barstool Prophet” is a smoky sermon from the darker side of the neon glow.Blending the grit of Waylon Jennings with the unfiltered truth of Charles Bukowski, this outlaw-country blues track spits wisdom from the bottom of a glass. It’s part confessional, part comedy, and all soul — a tongue-in-cheek gospel for the bruised and barbound.
