“Try That In a Small Town” is a megahit from an artist who spent years cultivating a provocative image. But Nashville insiders worry it could alienate untapped markets.
Throughout tour stops in late July and all of August, Aldean has been delivering speeches to rile up his fan base with the tone of a political rally, repeatedly thanking them for their support and “seeing through the bull----.” The lines vary but the themes stay the same, and in Orange Beach, his monologue hit all the points he usually likes to make.
Then, taking a page from the playbook of former president Donald Trump, whom Aldean has spent time with lately at Mar-a-Lago, hefor the whole mess. Or more specifically, “All my media people out there who have never met me in their life, don’t know anything about me … you can take your narratives and shove them all the way up your ass.”
Aldean, whose publicist declined to comment for this story, has never been known as the friendliest artist , but those in Nashville describe him as laid back behind the scenes — “just a very chill guy,” said one person who has crossed paths with the singer about a dozen times. However, the aggressive rhetoric onstage appears to be a natural evolution in Aldean’s instinct to be defensive and unapologetic when faced with criticism.
