Aldeans defend Jason's controversial song

The Aldeans have been defending Jason's controversial song "Try That in a Small Town" and their conservative views, even though they haven't explained why they didn't show up at the CMAs.

Jason said in an interview, "I think she probably gets fired up a little bit because it kind of trickles down because she obviously is on social media and those things a lot more than I am."

He added, "So, a lot of times it'll be, you know, she may see something and go, ‘Hey, have you heard about such and such'".

The music video for "Try That in a Small Town" by Jason swiftly gained attention after viewers deemed the imagery to be "racist" and critics accused the performer of supporting brutality.

Aldean shared on his Instagram account, "In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests."

Aldean added, "These references are not only meritless, but dangerous."

As previously reported, the singer of 'She's Country' singer spoke with journalist Jan Crawford about the criticism of his work.

Crawford said 'It was a threatening kind of video'

Crawford told the artist on CBS Morning, "You know, it was like a call to arms and small towns." He said, "It was a threatening kind of video for Black people, I mean, people were putting this on like, TikTok."

Jason was adamant about defending the release and could not understand why filming in front of the courthouse where Henry Choate was lynched in 1927 would be hurtful.

Aldean argued, "But there was people of all [colors] doing stuff in the video. That’s what I don’t understand." He continued, "You know, there was white people in there. There was Black people. I mean, this video did not shine light on one specific group and say, that’s the problem."

He added, "So anybody that saw that in the video, then you weren’t looking hard enough in the video is all I can tell you."
