Jason Aldean is pushing again in opposition to the criticism he’s been getting for his new single.
As we reported earlier on Tuesday, the nation crooner simply launched the official music video for his single Try That In A Small Town. And to say the music and video are controversial is, uhhh, placing it very, very, very mildly…

Well, on Tuesday afternoon, the Georgia-born nation music star took to Twitter to supply his ideas on the response to the monitor.
First, Brittany Aldean‘s husband claimed social media’s interpretations of his music as being anti-Black Lives Matter, pro-lynching, and extra are opinions that go “too far.”
Aldean defined:
“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. 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.”
Then, the singer referenced how he was certainly on stage on the terrible 2017 Las Vegas music pageant mass capturing:
“As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91 — where so many lost their lives — and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart.”
Before concluding with what Try That In A Small Town means to him:
“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. My political views have never been something I’ve hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don’t agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to — that’s what this song is about.”

In the previous 24 hours I’ve been accused of releasing a pro-lynching music (a music that has been out since May) and was topic to the comparability that I (direct quote) was not too happy with the nationwide BLM protests. These references usually are not solely meritless, however harmful.…
