Try That in a Small Town features lyrics threatening violence against protesters and has been removed from Country Music Television, but Aldean says it is a celebration of community
We poured hot tar and feather on the British when they raised taxes to pay for the war in which we were being defended. What part of our history is “non-violent”
Why is this shitty country song being targeted by the news? There are so many other country songs with lyrics like this, and there are plenty even more troubling. Sick of seeing this headline. We’re giving attention to something that doesn’t deserve it, and it sucks.
Because it’s recent and CMT took action. Nothing new here.
I’m a liberal redneck, got a country list on Spotify.
“Country Boy Can Survive”, strikes a chord with me, not hellishly racist. I get it.
I like “Song of the South”, I feel much of it, but the name itself is a dog whistle. If you listen to the words, well, things got better with FDR? 🤷🏻♂️ Make of it what you will.
“Indian Outlaw” is catchy, zero hate, could even be called positive. (Not by me.) Seems damned offensive to a Native American. Done with that one.
“Try That in a Small Town” is kinda OK, on its own. I get the sentiment. We small town folks take care of ourselves. Because we have to. OTOH, the video and backdrop, Jesus Fucking Christ, he might as well have said kill invading n****rs.
Anyway, different songs from different times. Now is not the time to release shit like this and try to claim… Whatever the fuck he came out with. I’m exhausted.
EDIT: LOL my God. The song and video were worse than I remembered. Song isn’t even catchy, even with the video off, it’s just dreck. And change that from “kill invading n****rs” to “kill all libs/woke/whatever”.
This country lib is armed, for whatever that’s worth.
Yep. You can kinda lump right wingers and country fans into the same group. Sure, there’s exceptions but this song will no doubt be a hit with these tiny pp havin’, mall cruiser truck driving’ mouth breathers.
“There’s a gateway in our minds That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane Where reptile aliens made of light Cut you open and pull out all your pain Tell me how you make illegal Something that we all make in our brain Some say you might go crazy But then again, it might make you go sane”
Shooter Jennings is another you may enjoy, very alt-country southern rockish.
Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real is a great band that is also alt-country but more like indie-ish beach rockish bluesyness. It’s hard to define lol.
Enjoy your adventures into alt-country and if you want more recommends hit me up!
What a weird quote. America is all about promoting violence. Washington loves its wars, especially when non-Americans are getting killed in foreign countries, and tens of millions of people across the country feel the same way. Hell, even the national anthem is glorifying violence.
Reeeeal grand of the Guardian to criticize the lyrics of someone’s song when they never called the Black Lives Matters rioters uh rioters. Insane hypocrisy from some leftist media.
