The Streisand Effect is in full force as we speak.īut while the prudish pearl clutchers of the politically correct class writhe and seethe over this song, there is actually another country music song that without having to make any leaps of faith or draw any conclusions from inferences in the lyrics can objectively be concluded to be about lynching and vigilante justice.

That’s already happening as the song has rocketed to #1 on iTunes, and will surely show new significant traction on the next update to the charts due to the controversy. It is the frothing, reactionary opinion of a groupthink lynch mob who will continue to ratchet up the rhetoric against Aldean until he’s forevermore extricated from popular society, which is never going to happen.įurthermore, these excessive and distorted characterizations are only fueling a counter backlash that will take a mild, late career pseudo radio hit for Aldean to a Song of the Summer-level smash. The idea that the song is actively condoning or encouraging the lynching of Black people is beyond ludicrous and based in absolutely no factual information.

“Try That In A Small Town” is an embarrassment to Jason Aldean, an embarrassment to country music, and deserves to be admonished both as a work of art, and as a poorly-attempted cultural statement that has clearly proven itself as counter-productive to its mission already, aside from making Aldean, the song’s four writers, and his label Broken Bow Records lots of money.Īlso, due to Jason Aldean’s careless calculations and the oversight of his production crew by staging the video at the The Maury County Courthouse where a lynch mob strung up and murdered an 18-year-old Black man Henry Choate on November 13, 1927, he’s not only opened himself up to scrutiny, but all of country music by proxy. Before anyone misunderstands the motivations of this, let’s establish that in the opinion of Saving Country Music, Jason Aldean’s song and video for “Try That In A Small Town” is a clownish, poorly-written, trite and reactionary piece of audio refuse that can’t even claim to be “country” since it’s outside of the genre’s established sonic parameters.
