Aldean’s Song Sparks Crew Fallout | Country Music News

Jason Aldean’s explosive new song “Try That In A Small Town” didn’t just spark online outrage—it caused real backstage drama. Some of his own tour crew members openly criticized the track, leading to a major rift. Aldean drew a hard line: if you’re on the payroll, you’re expected to support the team and the message. Disrespecting him or the crew while benefiting from the tour? You’re out. The tension stems from post-pandemic tensions around tour safety and operations, and the controversy even spilled into the music video’s filming location. Despite backlash, Aldean and bassist Tully Kennedy stand by the song’s message, and while crew members felt free to publicly criticize it, Aldean made it clear: loyalty and respect are non-negotiable. Those who couldn’t align were let go, leaving the core team united under his vision. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
