Sheryl Crow slams Jason Aldean for ‘promoting violence' with new song 'Try That in a Small Town”
In fact, the"Soak Up the Sun" singer called out her fellow country star over his song"Try That In A Small Town," which has stirred controversy over lyrics thattweeted
July 18."Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There's nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting. This is not American or small town-like. It's just lame." Aldean was performing on stage at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas in 2017 when a gunman fired down on the crowd and killed 59 people in whatin U.S. history. But while he hasn't responded to Crow's remarks, earlier in the day the"Burn It Down" singer addressed the backlash to his song, which contains lyrics like"Full of good ol' boys, raised up right / If you're looking for a fight / Try that in a small town.
"In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song and was subject to the comparison that I was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests,"He continued,"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.
He continued,"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 of 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."
