While Country star Jason Aldean readies to release his 11th album today, the crooner recently opened up about why his controversial hit song “Try That In a Small Town” resonated so strongly with listeners.
It was back in July that some social media users, including country music fans, called for a boycott of Country Music Television (CMT) after the network pulled the singer’s song and its video. Some critics claimed it was a “pro-lynching” song, criticizing the footage that included a Tennessee courthouse where a black teenager was lynched about 100 years ago. Other media outlets were critical of the song’s pro-gun lyrics.
