Jason Aldean is doubling down on his stance in defending his controversial song “Try That In A Small Town” and sees nothing wrong with it.
The country music star has been accused of promoting gun violence with the lyrics of the song and music video having racist undertones. However, during a recent appearance in a podcast, he continued to justify the track.
“If you’ve got common sense, you can look at the video and see, I’m not sayin’ anything that’s not true,” Aldean said in the Coop’s Rockin’ Country Saturday Night podcast about the video. “In the video, I’m showin’ you what happened — I didn’t do it, I didn’t create it — it just happened, and I saw it, and I’m not cool with it.”
The music video for “Try That In A Small Town” was removed from CMT following the controversy that includes footage of BLM protests and Aldean playing in front of a Tennessee courthouse where a Black man was lynched. Clips of the protests were subsequently edited out of the video.
Some of the lyrics Aldean sings include “Got a gun that my granddad gave me, they say one day they’re gonna round up, well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”
Of the aforementioned lyrics, Aldean said, “The biggest issue, I think, people had when we released the song was that it mentioned ‘having a gun that my grandfather gave me.’ I mentioned a gun, that’s a ‘no, no’ right now. I just remember thinking, ‘Man, you guys haven’t even seen the video yet.'”
Sheryl Crow was one of the high-profile country music stars who called out Aldean for the controversial song saying, “This Is Not American Or Small Town-Like. It’s Just Lame.”
Amid the backlash of the music video, Aldean’s song enjoyed success climbing up to the top spot on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs
