Grammy award-winning musician Sheryl Crow has spoken out against country singer Jason Aldean’s new song, “Try That in a Small Town,” which has been criticized for its threatening lyrics.
In the song, Aldean sings about protesters and outsiders not making it “far down the road” if they don’t adhere to his politically charged ideals of small-town life. He also sings about people being “rounded up” and “around here we take care of our own.”
Crow, who is from a small town, took to Twitter to express her disapproval of the song.
“@Jason_Aldean I’m from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence,” she wrote. “There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence.”
Critics of the song have pointed to its lyrics, which include “Got a gun that my grandad gave me,” as promoting violence.
“This is not American or small town-like,” Crow added.
The song has been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some praising Aldean for his stance on small-town values and others criticizing him for its violent undertones.
It remains to be seen how Aldean will respond to Crow’s comments, but the Grammy-winner’s message is clear: violence is not a small-town value.
