Jason Aldean is speaking out over the backlash for his latest song, “Try That in a Small Town.”
Many fans, however, are sharing how they relate to the song and its message about growing up in a tight-knit small town.
"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 video 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."shot and killed 58 people and injured nearly a thousand others and how he never wants anyone to suffer a tragedy like that.
"'Try That In A Small Town,' for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences," he continued.
