Fantastic song, it could actually say F around and find out in a small town! Love small town living !
Jason Aldean’s new song has been hit with loads of controversy for its lyrics and music video … but apparently, fans are still digging it — because it’s a chart-topper.
“Try That in a Small Town” has been called out for being threatening toward people with anti-police and anti-American beliefs. The song was first released in May, but it’s been climbing the charts on multiple platforms lately … and hit the #1 spot Tuesday on iTunes for songs in the U.S.
It’s also #9 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases list — and his recently released video’s trending on YouTube, reaching #12 amongst all things music on the site. Remember, CMT pulled the video from its channel this week as anger ramped up.
As we reported, Jason’s been getting called out for his track and the music video … which was filmed in front of the Tennessee courthouse where an 18-year-old Black man was lynched almost 100 years ago.
Jason claimed there was no ill intention behind the lyrics, telling his fans it had nothing to do with race … but instead was just about growing up in a tight-knit community.
Fellow singer Sheryl Crow let him have it Wednesday, saying folks in small towns are sick of the violence happening in our country — adding his song only supports more hate in America.
