Sheryl Crow blasts Jason Aldean's 'lame' Try That in a Small Town after song ... trends now
Sheryl Crow is the latest star to slam Jason Aldean's controversial song Try That in a Small Town over its bloodthirsty lyrics, calling it 'lame'.
Attacking the tune, the pro-gun control singer said 'Even people in small towns are sick of violence' and Aldean 'should know that better than anyone' after surviving a mass shooting.
The song came out two months ago, but Aldean, 46, released a gun-toting, anti-woke music video for it on Friday, which slams left-wing antagonists for antics that he claims wouldn't fly in the South.
Both the lyrics and the video, which interlaced clips of BLM protestors vandalizing cities with lines endorsing traditional values and 'taking care of our own' - implying that he'd do so with guns, if necessary - have caused outrage online.
Now, Missouri-born Crow has weighed in against the song, citing herself as a small-towner after she grew up in Kennett, Dunklin County.

Crow, 61, shared some of the offending lyrics and said Aldean 'should know better' after surviving the 2017 Las Vegas festival shooting which killed 58 people
In a fiery Twitter post, the 61-year-old Soak Up The Sun songbird said: 'I'm from a small town.
'Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There's nothing small-town or American about promoting violence.
'You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting. This is not American or small town-like. It's just lame.'
Crow re-tweeted a photograph showing some of the offending lyrics, including the lines: 'Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they're gonna round up / Well, that s--- might fly in the city, good luck / Try that in a small town'.
The country singer-songwriter is known for her liberal political standpoints, including supporting gun control measures.
Earlier this year, she joined fellow music artist Amy Grant to lead a group of performers to the Tennessee Capitol to lobby the legislature's GOP supermajority for new gun restrictions.
