Jason Aldean’s hit single “Try That in a Small Town” has found another defender — country music legend Randy Travis.
As the mainstream news media continues to smear the chart-topping song as racist, Randy Travis and his wife, Mary, expressed support for Aldean, saying in a Fox News“You know, when we heard the song, when we saw the video, our first inclination was, we live in a small town. We feel the same way.
The couple also addressed the media’s obsession with shots in the music video showing Tennessee’s Maury County Courthouse, located outside Nashville. The courthouse was the site of a 1927 lynching of a black man named Henry Choate . “As far as the particular courthouse or whatever,” Mary said, “any courthouse in the United States of America that’s been around a while … something happened there. And so just to go and pick a courthouse and then identify, ‘Well, that happened there,’ you could go to any courthouse across the country and find something you didn’t like going on there.”
The courthouse has served as a filming location in numerous TV shows and movies, including Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009.
