Jason Aldean has faced backlash over his song and music video for “Try That In A Small Town”, which features him performing on the steps of a Tennessee courthouse that was the site of a historic lynching. Aldean has defended the song, saying it has nothing to do with race, and CMT has pulled the contentious clip from the air. Fans and critics are debating the video, with some accusing Aldean of writing a “pro-lynching song” and others praising him for tackling a difficult subject.
