“Oklahoma Beer Run” by Barefoot with a Stetson is a lively tribute to Southern nights and youthful adventure, blending Outlaw Country swagger with the easygoing spirit of Trop Rock. Ben Thompson’s songwriting invites listeners on a nostalgic drive through dry counties and dive bars, painting scenes with a mischievous grin and a genuine affection for his rural roots.
The moment the song starts, the infectious rhythm and unfussy melody carry echoes of country jams. There’s a sense of freedom that rolls through every verse—Friday nights in Locksburg, shooting pool and playing jukebox favorites, plotting escapes across the state line in search of weak beer and stronger stories. Thompson’s vocals come across unadorned and honest, and the instrumentation leans into classic country motifs, with a twangy, toe-tapping guitar and subtle touches that evoke both the rebellious and beachy sides of Barefoot Country.
“Oklahoma Beer Run” not only celebrates breaking the rules—it laughs at the little mishaps that cluster around any redneck road trip, from bar fights in roadside dives to sneaking past local law enforcement. The chorus lands with a simple, memorable hook, underscoring the carefree joy woven throughout the Barefoot with a Stetson catalog. The production keeps it warm and open, letting the humor and good vibes shine through without forcing them.
This single headlines Thompson’s “Barefoot Redneck” album, a collection brimming with playful stories and uniquely Southern snapshots. “Redneck License” and “The Good Ol Days” build on that sense of place and time, recalling broken trucks and madcap memories. There’s an effortless flow to the album—each song a vignette, each lyric a wink at those who know the backroads by heart. The music, much like its creator, doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s here to kick off your boots, crack a beer, and let nostalgia wash over you in waves of sun-soaked humor.
Ben Thompson’s rise from Arkansas farm kid to Trop Rock festival staple has been fueled by charm and relentless authenticity. Whether at Gulf Coast Days or Trop Rock’N Duval, his performances land like house parties under the stars—no frills, just tunes and laughter. Spotify listeners (now topping 30,000 monthly) have caught on, spinning songs that channel the wild, unpredictable spirit of the beach, the truck, and the dancehall alike.
Barefoot with a Stetson is also about lifestyle—the kind that trades stress for sunshine, work for waves, and suits for swim trunks. Thompson’s new website brings together his tracks, festival history, and a fresh range of tropical apparel and gear. It’s fast becoming a landing spot for fans of both Trop Rock and Barefoot Country, a hub for sunseekers and storytellers. If good music and laid-back living are what you crave, there’s something waiting for you.
