Jason Aldean new music
On Nov. 3, Aldean released his 11th studio album “Highway Desperado.”
Made up of 14 tracks, the record is unapologetically Aldean. With his Southern drawl, lyrics about drinkin’ and raisin’ hell as well as the now infamous “Try That In A Small Town,” which drew flak for its racist message, fans know what they’re getting when they listen to the Georgia native.

Jason Aldean controversy
In July of this year, Aldean released the music video for his polarizing single “Try That In A Small Town,” that may have had a pro-racism and pro-lynching message.
Over the course of three minutes, the 46-year-old country star displayed images of George Floyd protests projected onto Tennessee’s Maury County courthouse, which has a bit of historical significance.
Said courthouse is where a 1946 race riot and 1927 lynching took place.
The video was pulled down by CMT after four days on the air.
