Country singer Jason Aldean defended his new song,"Try That In a Small Town," after Country Music Television pulled the song from its network.
Aldean, a conservative, said on Tuesday he had 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." The singer stated"not a single lyric" in the song references race and that the footage used in the music video was not news footage of riots.
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. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous.… — Jason Aldean July 18, 2023 The conservative singer added that his political views"have never been something I've hidden from," and while he does not know if the United States can return to a time"where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night," his song is about the desire to return to that time.
While the song was released in May, the song's music video was uploaded to YouTube on Friday. Footage in the video includes a U.S. flag burning, someone holding a Molotov cocktail, and people breaking into jewelry displays. CMT, a television network dedicated to country music videos, pulled the clip on Monday, according to a report.
