Sheryl Crow is not pulling any punches in response to Jason Aldean's controversial new single, 'Try That in a Small Town.'
Aldean initially released “Try That in a Small Town” in May. It stayed mostly under the radar until last week when it caromed into the cultural discourse after Aldean and director Shaun Silva dropped a video for the song featuring the country star performing in front of a courthouse — reportedly in Columbia, Tennessee, the site of a 1933 lynching — and interspersed with footage depicting protests as violent and lawless., the country-music cable network, pulling the music video from its rotation.
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song and was subject to the comparison that I was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests,” Aldean wrote. “These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it – and there isn’t a single clip that isn’t real news footage – and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music – this one goes too far.
