Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ tops charts despite ‘pro-lynching’ controversy

.....Perhaps no press is bad press when it comes to Jason Aldean’s controversial song “Try That in a Small Town.”...Aldean’s headline-making hit occupies the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ Top Songs and Music Videos charts as of Wednesday evening — despite accusations it’s racist and “pro-lynching.” The song, which was released May 19, has over 3.8 million Spotify streams....Over on YouTube, the music video, which dropped Friday, has over 1.8 million views. It also holds the No. 4 spot on the site’s trending music videos....

....The song’s popularity continues to grow even after CMT pulled the video — which features footage from protests, including Black Lives Matter protests, as well as Aldean, 46, performing in front of a Tennessee courthouse known for historic lynchings — from its rotation. Aldean, an outspoken conservative, defended himself from the backlash Tuesday in an Instagram Story, calling the accusations that he “released a pro-lynching song … not only meritless, but dangerous.”.....“‘Try That in a Small Town,’ for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences,” he explained. The company claimed that several other music videos and movies have been filmed at the location.....“Any alternative narrative suggesting the music video’s location decision is false,” the company told the outlet in a statement....

"Try That In A Small Town"

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Car jack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that might fly in the city, good luck

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't

Try that in a small town
Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
(See how far ya make it down the road)
'Round here we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town, mm-mm

Try that in a small town

So you can rap about murdering people, smacking hoes, killing the police and burning down a town but you can't write a song condemning it?? WTF kind of world are we living in??

Jason Aldean's controversial courthouse location for 'Small Town' music video defended by production company

....The production company TackleBox cited other films and music videos that were shot at Tennessee's Maury County Courthouse, including 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'...Jason Aldean is facing significant backlash after the music video for his song "Try That in a Small Town" was released Friday — and now the production company behind the project is defending its controversial filming location.....The 46-year-old country star's detractors have slammed the song's lyrics, which some perceived as having racial undertones and promoting a "pro-lynching" message, but the singer has strongly denied the claims. Critics have also blasted Aldean over the music video, the majority of which was filmed at a Tennessee courthouse which was the site of a 1927 lynching and 1946 race riot.....

....However, TackleBox, the company that produced the music video, told Fox News Digital that the courthouse is a "popular filming location outside of Nashville" that has been featured in a number of music videos and movies. In addition, TackleBox noted that the five-time Grammy Award nominee "did not pick the location."...."Any alternative narrative suggesting the music video’s location decision is false," TackleBox wrote in a statement ....Scenes from the music video were shot outside the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where an 18-year-old Black man named Henry Choate was lynched in 1927. The courthouse was also a pivotal site during the Columbia race riot in 1946.....

.....In its statement, TackleBox cited several music videos and movies that have been filmed at the courthouse, including most recently the 2022 Lifetime Original television movie "Steppin’ into the Holiday" starring Mario Lopez and Jana Kramer....TackleBox also noted that the location was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song "We Were Rich," the 2022 Paramount holiday film "A Nashville Country Christmas" with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus' 2009 film "Hannah Montana: The Movie."

....Aldean went on to stress, "My political views have never been something I've hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this country don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we got at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to – that's what this song is about....To me, this song summarizes the way a lot of people feel about the world right now. It seems like there are bad things happening on a daily basis, and that feels unfamiliar to a lot of us. This song sheds some light on that...."

I call on my fellow patriots to purchase this song. It’s only 1.29. It’s a reverse boycott. Let’s do this! 

[KSB2424 3,148]

I enjoy some Country, but not a Jason Andean fan.  I have heard the noise around this song and radio stations and CMT pulling it from air play despite it being highly rated.  
 

I finally just watched and it seems so silly when you read the reasoning, yet so predictable. 
 

I mean this song was huge, half of rap songs are about “killing a mutherfocker”.  
 

Anyone over 45 remembers this classic.

I don’t give two focks if Left-Tards like it or not.  These people have no moral standing to complain after the violent smut they’ve been putting out for the last 50 years.  These are the same people who created a play in Central Park where a Trump figure was murdered on stage.

How many "controversial" videos have stations ran since it started?  Some have won awards.

Shows what a lib pc snowflake world we live in.

We need to stop that shitt in its tracks.  Unfortunately it means getting obnoxiously socially active like the Left-Tards.  Get a couple of Patriots to protest on the sidewalk in front of this guy’s house.

These poosies need to fear the Right as much as the Left.

[listen2me 23 1,825]

All you old fellas thinking about the glory days in the 70s and 80s.  Thats gone and dead.  Thank leftists.  Back then artists were artists good or bad or controversial.   Now you get hung if you say anything. 

Fairly sad.  Your generation failed mine.  Dont blame it on mine.  You guys let this shlt happen even tho you were raised different.

It is politically correct to not bash criminals now.  

Think about that.  Think about if you are left right center or alien.  Just focking think about that.  

[KSB2424 3,148]

It’s all bass ackwards.  

Anti Police is cool, Pro Police is racist. 
The Nuclear Family is overrated. A man can get pregnant.  Looting business is….okay…frowned upon but it’s like jaywalking.  Defending yourself or property is akin to lynching.  

It’s all so ridiculous.  Forget politics, I’m talking sanity at this point.

I’m watching the Chelsea vs Wrexham friendly in Chapel Hill, NC with my sons. They are soccer players but I’m a bit bored, more a baseball guy. I am fired up about The Open though, hate Tiger can’t play due to injury. However at this exact moment I do enjoy watching your strange white guilt virtue signalling happening once again.  It’s very impressive.

Bruce Springsteen can write a song talking about shooting bankers and that’s ok.

What virtue signalling?  I'm sitting on my deck drinking an IPA listening to Old Dominion, recovering from taking a beating in sushi go.

Great point.

There is a massive silent majority who normally just go about their day.  Go to work, pay the bills, and love their family.  The soccer moms and football dads.  The PTA presidents and the little league coaches.  They “try” and stay out of all the nonsense but eventually everyone has their limits, the pendulum swings back.  Welcome.

I would but then I would be tempted to listen to it, Alden is blasphemy to good country music. He's a sing about a tractor guy just to sale records. This song is a gimmick as well.

I don't think a Jason Aldean song about vigilante justice being taken off CMT is gonna do it.
