Watch: Jason Aldean Stands Firm Against Leftist Reporter on ‘Try That in a Small Town’
Country Star Jason Aldean Stands Firm Against Media Attacks on Hit Song
Country star Jason Aldean is once again facing questions from the legacy media about his popular song “Try That in a Small Town.” Despite Aldean’s explanations, the liberal media continues to push a narrative that the song is racist. Aldean recently appeared on “CBS Mornings” to discuss his album “Highway Desperado,” which features the song.
The song highlights the growing issue of violence in America, particularly in liberal-run cities that prioritize criminals’ rights over innocent victims. It mentions carjackings, armed robbery, and a lack of respect for law and order. However, the chorus emphasizes that such behavior is not tolerated in small, tight-knit communities where citizens look out for each other and refuse to turn a blind eye to crime.
“Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around 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”
Despite the song’s success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, critics continue to label it as racially charged and threatening. In an interview with CBS host Jan Crawford, Aldean was confronted with these accusations. Crawford claimed that the song was seen as a call to arms in small towns and had racist undertones.
Aldean expressed confusion and asked how the song could be interpreted that way. He pointed out that the music video featured people of all races and did not single out any specific group as the problem. The video aimed to highlight lawlessness, disrespect for law enforcement, and the destruction of cities.
During the interview, Crawford also mentioned that the video was filmed at a courthouse where a black teen was lynched in 1927. Aldean stated that he was unaware of the history and did not choose the location for that reason. He emphasized that the video’s purpose was to condemn crime and violence, not promote racism.
Aldean admitted that, knowing what he knows now, he probably wouldn’t shoot the video at the same location. However, he noted that racial issues have occurred in many government buildings throughout history.
The song serves as a critique of out-of-control crime and violence, and Aldean stands by its message. He refuses to back down to media attacks and defends his artistic choices.

Why do critics fail to understand the intent behind songs and instead perpetuate their own narrative?

Critics often fail to understand the intent behind songs and instead choose to perpetuate a narrative that fits their agenda. In this case, the liberal media is determined to paint Jason Aldean as a racist and to twist the meaning of his song to further their own political agenda. It is disappointing to see how easily they dismiss the artist’s explanations and continue to push for a false narrative.
It is important to note that artists have the right to express their own personal experiences and perspectives through their art. Music is a form of self-expression and should not be censored or vilified simply because it does not align with a certain political ideology.
Furthermore, the song clearly states that the behavior described in the verses is not acceptable in small towns, where communities protect and care for each other. It is a call for unity and a reminder that standing up against crime should be a shared responsibility.
Jason Aldean has worked hard to establish himself as a respected and talented country star. He has consistently produced music that resonates with his audience and captures the spirit of rural America. To label him as racist based on one song is not only unfair but also a disservice to the artist and his body of work.
The media’s attack on Aldean and his song is just another example of the divisive and polarizing tactics employed by certain outlets. Instead of fostering a healthy discussion and promoting understanding, they choose to engage in character assassination and distortion of facts.
It is crucial for media consumers to be critical and discerning. We must not passively accept the narratives presented to us but instead seek the truth and form our own informed opinions.
In conclusion, Jason Aldean stands firm against the media attacks on his hit song ”Try That in a Small Town.” He has made it clear that the song is not about race but about addressing the alarming issue of violence and crime in America. The accusations of racism are unfounded and only serve to further divide us. Let us focus on the true message of the song and work towards creating safer and stronger communities for all.
