Jason Aldean‘s “Try That in a Small Town” has sparked debate over its message, and its music video has prompted just as much backlash. CMT actually pulled the video from rotation after only a few days, though that arguably made it even more popular. The backlash to the backlash led the song to debut at number-two on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 29. And then it reached the top the following week on the chart dated August 5. No Aldean single has ever reached this level of popular success. But is that a good thing?
Written by Kurt Allison, Tully Kennedy, Kelley Lovelace, and Neil Thrasher, “Try That in a Small Town” is ostensibly about watching out for one’s neighbors in a tight-knit community. The first verse opens with criminal behavior they just won’t tolerate: “Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk / Carjack an old lady at a red light.
