From bluegrass roots to the top of the country charts, country music artist John Morgan joins Jay Cutler and Sam Mackey for a can't-miss conversation. He's penned multiple #1 hits for artists like Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi, and Dustin Lynch, and now he's stepping into the spotlight with his debut album, Carolina Blue, and his smash single “Friends Like That” (feat. Jason Aldean). John Morgan grew up immersed in bluegrass and performing at festivals with his family band, but his path to a record deal came through an unexpected connection—an Uber ride that introduced him to Jason Aldean. Now, he's proving to be one of Nashville's most exciting new voices. He's toured with Aldean, Riley Green, Nate Smith, and ERNEST—and he's just getting started. Make sure to tune in—you won't want to miss this one.

Michael Knox, the visionary producer behind Jason Aldean's groundbreaking sound, pulls back the curtain on one of country music's most remarkable success stories. Knox's candid revelations about their journey expose the harsh realities of Nashville's music business—an incredible 40 showcase rejections, multiple lost record deals, and years of struggle before breakthrough success.What makes this conversation extraordinary is hearing how Knox deliberately architected Aldean's revolutionary sound when mainstream Nashville wasn't ready for it. "The whole plan with Jason was to be Tim McGraw's nightmare, to be the replacement of that generation," Knox explains. "You can't do that if you don't cover all the bases—I can tear your head off, steal your girl, make you cry."Knox shares fascinating production stories, including how executives at Broken Bow Records first heard "Hicktown" with a broken speaker that eliminated the electric guitar parts—yet still loved it. He reveals the battles fought for now-iconic songs like "She's Country," "Big Green Tractor," and "Dirt Road Anthem"—all initially dismissed as career-ending risks by industry gatekeepers.The conversation takes a personal turn when Knox discusses his father, Buddy Knox, who had the first self-written #1 hit in rock and roll history ("Party Doll") yet remains excluded from the Rock Hall of Fame. This family connection illuminates Knox's deep understanding of the music business's often unfair nature and his determination to help Aldean succeed against overwhelming odds.What emerges is a masterclass in artistic vision and perseverance. In today's era of overnight TikTok sensations, Knox questions whether artists who haven't weathered rejection and struggle can develop the character needed for lasting careers. "These people today don't suffer like that," he reflects, celebrating the hard-earned journey that shaped Aldean's authentic connection with fans.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

We wanna hear from you! Send us a message here :) With a style that's defined by melodic grit and a craftsman's approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that's pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. More than a year after selling everything he had to follow his dream, an only-in-Nashville story involving Uber drivers and impressive demos led to a writing session with Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy — two incredible songwriters and longtime bandmates of Country superstar Jason Aldean. That session led to the superstar cutting numerous songs written by John, including #1 hit singles “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn't Love You” with Carrie Underwood. Signed to Aldean's Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group, the sought-after, naturally gifted songwriter who has written for Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and more and toured with Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green and Jameson Rodgers – now continues to cross off bucket-list items. Having made his Grand Ole Opry debut, released an anthemic debut EP Remember Us?, John's barn-burner, fan-favorite track “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” is available now! Support the Show.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Friends, as I write this, the country is savoring every second of these last 72 hours of the traditional holiday break. The next twelve months are widely expected to be history-shaping and globally pivotal on an unprecedented level. How tired have y'all become of hearing that? The same thing, more or less, has been said about each of the past four years, and yet: it's been no less true each time. (Some might argue that could be said for the past seven years, and I wouldn't be inclined to disagree.)When I was much younger, the new year didn't really get kicked up until a few weeks into January; current events had the decency to wait until we had a cup of coffee and caught a few NFL playoff games. Recent history has blown that typically reasonable expectation into oblivion. There's no longer a guarantee of entering the shallow end, down some friendly steps, and working our way to the deep end. Now, each year, we're all marched straight to the high dive and can only hope for a relatively peaceful splash into the depths below.Just as an example:Four years ago, on New Year's Eve, in the early hours of the morning, Reuters first reported on a mysterious, viral pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, a major city in central China. Outside of a relatively small group of infectious disease experts and national security practitioners, few were paying attention, partly because we had other worries.Because on the evening of January 2nd, news came that Trump had ordered the successful assassination of Qasem Soleimani, who was then the commander of the Quds Force in Iran and considered the most powerful person in the country outside of Ayatollah Khamenei. For a few days there, you'd be forgiven for believing that 2020 would be defined by a regional conflict—perhaps even a world war—instigated by the United States and Iran, and… well… that fear was very misplaced. We were about to fight a very different war against an enemy invisible to the naked eye, and meanwhile, in the midst of that: grappling with the horrific consequences of white supremacy after the murder of George Floyd.I would like to believe that the big surprise of 2024 will be that it's relatively smooth, and yet, that would be quite foolish, no? It's gonna be a rough year, folks. We're gonna learn a lot about ourselves and our collective future. I have guarded optimism that we'll get through it, but it sure as hell ain't gonna be painless. Okay, that's the chaos bit. Let's get to the gratitude. Two and a half years ago, I left a nice communications job to start this blog and make a full-court push to achieve my dream of being a writer for a living. So many of you were there at the very start, immediately becoming paid subscribers and allowing me to take care of my bills by writing whatever I want.I am immensely grateful to all of you for the support. I can't begin to adequately explain how life-changing it's been to be a writer on my own terms, without worrying about how I'm gonna make my rent. And that is solely because of y'all.This year, Charlotte's Web Thoughts was named a finalist for Outstanding Blog at the GLAAD Media Awards and a finalist for Best Blog at the Shorty Awards. It's been cited or referenced in various national outlets and motivated some substantial radio and television hits across the calendar.It was a big factor at the end of this summer when I became the first openly-transgender person elected to the Council on Foreign Relations as a term member in its 102-year history. Having the freedom to write about foreign policy (among my many other topics) with a large platform, bypassing traditional outlets, was essential for that.Seriously, I'm grateful to y'all. Here are ten standout pieces from the dozens I wrote this year that make me particularly proud: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Announces a Ban on Pink Floyd” (January 27th)As DeSantis kept escalating his attacks against LGBTQ people, including an unwise and ill-fated war with Disney, I kept wondering to myself: why aren't journalists doing more to call this out for what it is? I sat down and wrote this satirical piece about a fictional press conference in which DeSantis announces a ban on Pink Floyd because of their rainbow logo. My hand to god, I initially thought it was way too blunt, not subtle enough. I was very wrong. The piece went viral as many folks, including a number of journalists, readily believed it. Snopes even wrote an article on it. “It's Time to Ban Cis People From Owning Guns” (March 30th)In March, a transgender man murdered three children and three adults in a mass shooting at a private elementary school in Nashville. Police arrived on the scene and killed the piece-of-s**t before he could murder other innocents. In the wake of the tragedy, social conservatives attempted to exploit it as a vehicle for their transphobic propaganda. So, I wrote this viral piece pointing out that cis people are many times more likely to be mass shooters, and therefore, wouldn't it make sense to ban cis people from owning firearms? I also appeared on MSNBC to chat about it with Joy Ann-Reid and Georgetown's Rev. Jim Wallis (full segment is in that link). Interestingly, the day after that appearance, far-right media were furious with me, not for my tongue-in-cheek argument to ban cis people from owning guns but because I referred to God with “she/her” pronouns during the segment. For real. That then led to this hilarious exchange with far-right reporter Tyler O'Neil, who reached out on LinkedIn, incredulous and apparently oblivious. And after that went viral, Fox News reached out asking me to publicly clarify that O'Neil no longer works for them.“Kid Rock Doesn't Know How to Shoot Straight” (April 4th)In the spring, social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who is a trans woman, was invited by Budweiser to collaborate on a cute Instagram project in which her likeness was printed on a few of their beer cans. Pretty uneventful… until the far-right launched a boycott over it. Kid Rock, a rich kid from Michigan who cosplays as trailer trash, then posted a video in which he (very poorly) shot at Bud Light beer cans in protest. So, wanting to be helpful, I wrote this viral essay of advice for him on how to shoot accurately and pointed out his long history of being a redneck poser.“Why I Declined $10,000 to Debate Michael Knowles” (April 10th)This one is technically cheating. It's not an essay. It's two screenshots of two emails.Earlier this year, far-right extremist Michael Knowles called for the “eradication” of trans ideology, which, in effect, was calling for the eradication of trans people. Openly genocidal language. Knowles, through a conservative campus group, reached out to offer me $10,000 to debate him at the University of Pittsburgh about the validity of trans people.And look, $10,000 is a lot of money to me. It would have paid off my car and provided several months of rent. But rejecting the offer was an easy decision. Within an hour, I had written back a long email response and then decided to post it, which went viral.I then took part in a segment on the incident for CNN put together quite fairly and professionally by journalist Elle Reeves.“What Target Needs to Understand” (May 15th)Unfortunately, the conservative boycott against Anheuser-Busch (the parent company of Budweiser) over Dylan Mulvaney gathered steam and scared other corporations into folding against anti-LGBTQ extremism. In May, Target announced they would be removing some items from their celebrated Pride Month collection after receiving violent threats. I wrote this essay explaining to corporate marketing executives that giving into these extremists would only exacerbate their revenue losses for a simple reason: anti-LGBTQ a******s aren't looking for tangible results. The whole point is to be angry. They crave outrage. The essay went viral—particularly on LinkedIn—and was adapted as an op-ed for Newsweek.“To the Man on the Northeast Regional” (May 30th)In late May, I had a really bad interaction with a transphobic Christian man on an Amtrak ride, and instead of getting angry over it, I decided to approach the man and talk about God after recognizing that he was clearly not in a great place. When I got home, I wrote an open letter to the man—whose name I don't know—to reclaim what would otherwise have been a not-so-great memory. This essay resonated with a lot of folks, and out of all the things I've written this year, it's proven to be one of the most popular pieces I've produced. Seven months later, I still get emails from strangers who have read it. “When Lance Armstrong Speaks, Why Does Anyone Listen?” (June 26th)This summer, Lance Armstrong, the most infamous cheater in the history of sports, decided to team up with chronic liar and hypocrite Caitlyn Jenner in an interview that took dead aim at trans kid in sports. In a way, writing this kinda felt shooting fish in a barrel. Contextualizing Armstrong's jaw-dropping history of cheating and Jenner's shameless flip-flopping on this issue was quite easy. But much more difficult was getting across the urgency of what's happening in American media on trans rights: the vacuum created by lazy and uncaring journalists has permitted charlatans like Armstrong and Jenner to fill that void with vile disinformation.“Please Read About Hitler Before Quoting Him” (July 10th)Months before one of the co-founders of extremist group Moms for Liberty was implicated in a sex scandal, I wrote this essay contextualizing the organization's many ties to white supremacist organizations and their boneheaded use of quotes by Hitler, Stalin, and Mao in anti-LGBTQ propaganda. I was surprised by just how many folks didn't know about the group's history, which is probably why this went viral.“What ‘Small Town' Actually Means” (July 26th)Country music star Jason Aldean is one of these redneck cosplayers who tries to exploit conservative outrage to sell his music. He released a song about small towns that basically winked at white supremacists. This is all the more hilarious when you learn that Aldean not only didn't come from a small town but has never lived in one. It gets funnier: Aldean is a prep school kid who was raised in a big city and used Canadian stock footage for his music video about American small towns. Pretty embarrassing.“When Both Silence and Statement Become Complicity” (Oct. 23rd)After the terrorist attack against innocent civilians in Israel on Oct. 7th, I was honestly lost. I wanted to be helpful to my Jewish and Muslim friends who were suffering and speak up against all forms of hatred, but what could I say that wouldn't give the impression I was taking sides? It felt impossible. And then one night, while taking a shower, it hit me: just be completely honest about all of it. I stayed up all night writing. The resulting essay is one of the best things I've ever written, and I'm quite proud of it. It was a timely reminder for myself on the responsibility I have with a large platform, and it made me less fearful to say hard truths.I have spent much of this year wondering about my next chapter. In February, I got an offer to lead a small nonprofit as its executive director, but I knew I would probably have to stop writing in order to take it. I wasn't ready for that. At the time, it was a hard choice, but in the many months since, it's a decision that's aged well. I don't know what I'll do next. Sometimes, I think it would be pretty amazing to be a columnist at The New York Times or The Washington Post. I've thought a few times about running for office, but I've never been fully confident I'm the best person for the job. Maybe leading an organization is my future calling. What I do know is that I am enormously fortunate to do what I do for a living, and for the time being, I am very happy writing this blog. I'm grateful. And I intend to enjoy this season in my life as much as possible, doing what I love, and using it to help others.Again, I can't thank you all enough for subscribing to my little blog and allowing me to do this work with your financial support.

Last summer, politics, country music and cultural grievance collided with the growing popularity of a new song from recording artist Jason Aldean.Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalkCarjack an old lady at a red lightPull a gun on the owner of a liquor storeYa think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya likeIn the lyrics, Aldean lists behaviors he associates with cities, like lawlessness and disrespect for the flag or the police. And then he warns listeners of the consequences if they “try that in a small town.”The song quickly hit the country music charts. Then, the music video was released.In it, images of Aldean singing alternate with newsreel footage of looting, violence and scenes from the racial justice protests that took place during the summer of 2020.The video was quietly edited to remove some of the more contested footage, but the battle lines had already been drawn. The song quickly gained popularity on the political right. And Republican primary candidates, including Donald Trump, began praising Aldean and playing the song at their events.And so as we were thinking about how to understand the G.O.P. presidential primary, we saw that Jason Aldean would be performing at the Iowa state fair. And we knew we had to go.Do you have a question about the 2024 election? We want to hear from you. Fill out this form or email us a voice memo at therunup@nytimes.com

America is divided, but how deep does that division run? Do our small towns and cities see the world through fundamentally different lenses? Today's episode takes a deep dive into this national dichotomy, sparked by the recent release of Jason Aldean's controversial song, Try that in a Small Town. I dissect the song and its depiction of the ongoing divide between rural areas and urban centers, particularly in the wake of 2020's events. We also discuss the song's resonance with the frustrated spirit of the populist movement, and how Aldean himself has often found himself in opposition to Nashville's controlling elites.We then shift gears, analyzing the growing sentiment in favor of a national divorce, echoed by personalities like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Exploring movements like the Greater Idaho Movement and phenomena like the New Big Sort, we discuss the mass exodus from liberal cities and states, and the irony of the political choices of those who relocate. We provide an in-depth examination of the stark contrast between these 'blue' and 'red' areas, highlighting the socio-political implications that have given rise to these sentiments.Lastly, we scrutinize the changing face of Evangelical Christianity, particularly its shift towards the Open Society of post-World-War-II consensus. We talk about figures like Russell Moore and the pivotal roles played by David French and Tim Keller in this shift. We examine Tim Keller's influential manifesto, The Decline and Renewal of the American Church, and its impact on today's church. Wrapping up, we reflect on the widening schism between the populist fundamentalist movement and the evangelical establishment, and its implications for conventional views on masculinity, marriage, family, and community.

The New Yorker Radio Hour: Last month, the country singer Jason Aldean released a music video for “Try That in a Small Town,” a song that initially received little attention. But the video cast the song's lyrics in a new light. While Aldean sings, “Try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / 'Round here, we take care of our own,” images of protests against police brutality are interspersed with Aldean singing outside a county courthouse where a lynching once took place. Aldean's defenders—and there are many—say the song praises small-town values and respect for the law, rather than promoting violence and vigilantism. The controversy eventually pushed the song to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The staff writer Emily Nussbaum has been reporting from Nashville throughout the past few months on the very complicated politics of country music. On the one hand, she found a self-perpetuating culture war, fuelled by outrage; on the other, there's a music scene that's diversifying, with increasing numbers of women, Black artists, and L.G.B.T.Q. performers claiming country music as their own. “I set out to talk about music, but politics are inseparable from it,” Nussbaum tells David Remnick. “The narrowing of commercial country music to a form of pop country dominated by white guys singing a certain kind of cliché-ridden bro country song—it's not like I don't like every song like that, but the absolute domination of that keeps out all sorts of other musicians.” Nussbaum also speaks with Adeem the Artist, a nonbinary country singer and songwriter based in East Tennessee, who has found success with audiences but has not broken through on mainstream country radio. “I think that it's important that people walk into a music experience where they expect to feel comforted in their bigotry and they are instead challenged on it and made to imagine a world where different people exist,” Adeem says. “But, as a general rule, I try really hard to connect with people even if I'm making them uncomfortable.”

The top three songs in America right now are country tracks, and the top two hits are by artists facing allegations of racism. At the top of the charts is Jason Aldean: he shot to number one after releasing his music video "Try That In A Small Town," which included montages critical of the Black Lives Matter protests and showed Aldean singing in front of a courthouse where a Black teen was lynched. Morgan Wallen has the number two hit, and his popularity rose after being cancelled for using the N-word.But this is not unprecedented for the genre. Brittany sits down with historian Amanda Martinez to talk about country music's history of marketing itself in opposition of Blackness for financial gain.

Today on “Post Reports,” we explore the controversy around Jason Aldean's “Try That in a Small Town” – and how the song landed near the top of the charts. Critics say its new music video is full of coded threats against Black people.Read more:Country music star Jason Aldean is facing immense backlash over “Try That in a Small Town,” which soared in popularity even as the music video was pulled from Country Music Television amid the controversy. While Aldean is defending the video onstage and on social media, it was quietly edited to remove images of a Black Lives Matter protest after critics accused the song of containing coded threats against Black people. Aldean's label said the video was edited for copyright reasons but did not elaborate.The Post's Herb Scribner explains how the controversy has fueled the song's popularity.

Country singer Jason Aldean's song and video “Try That in a Small Town” has created backlash, with critics claiming the song promotes violence and anti-Black rhetoric. Still, Aldean is just the tip of the racist iceberg for the country music business says historian Amanda Marie Martinez, who came on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal to discuss the Aldean controversy with Danielle. She shares insight into the genre's racist history and why we shouldn't expect them to change their tune anytime soon.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jason Aldean's song, “Try That in a Small Town,” and its music video rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts in less than 24 hours. The video was then pulled from country music channel CMT due to controversy over the lyrics and imagery in the video. Aldean refused to back down in the face of the controversy, saying, “Cancel culture is bulls**t.” The only people whining about the song are people who have no understanding of history. Ironically, these same people probably love rap music despite the fact that it's derogatory to women and regularly promotes violence. The “Barbie” movie and “Oppenheimer” drew thousands of people to theaters this weekend for their releases. Of course, Chad decided to go see “Barbie.” He breaks down the movie, and you'll probably be surprised to hear that he actually liked it. While being a movie about a child's toy, it's actually filled with a lot of existential themes and touches on some important topics, including being pro-motherhood. Hunter Biden's old friend and longtime business partner Devon Archer is set to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability about the 24 or more instances when he allegedly witnessed Joe Biden take part in his son's business calls or in-person meetings with foreign nationals or prospective investors. Yet again, we are presented with clear evidence that Joe Biden was involved in influence-peddling through his son Hunter. Will anything actually happen? Probably not because we live in a country with a two-tier justice system. Thousands of diversity and equity officers have been laid off because they're costing companies millions, and people are tired of having their DEI nonsense shoved down their throats. Fox is reportedly matching donations to left-wing charities like the Satanic Temple and Planned Parenthood. So much for being a conservative network.

There is absolutely no racist language in the song and the music video is full of actual events committed by people of all races. Despite that, there have been many prominent calls for Aldean to be canceled. But Aldean refuses to be silenced. That's why Americans have made his song the most popular one in America. And that's why Sara is heading to Ohio to report from Aldean's concert tonight.Let's break the communist stranglehold on the music and movie industry.

Country music superstar Jason Aldean's latest music video has triggered the woke mob. “Try That in a Small Town” features Aldean performing in front of a historic courthouse with an unfortunate history. It's that history that Jason believes is the driving force behind the controversy, not the song itself — though the Left has piled on, calling the song itself “racist,” “pro-lynching,” and “pro-vigilante." Fellow Nashvillian Sheryl Crow says the song promotes violence. Jason welcomes Royce White and Shemeka Michelle to the discussion. There seems to be a beef brewing between two former ESPN colleagues. Dan Le Batard called out Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith for “ruining” sports television. You better believe Jason, Royce, and Steve Kim have opinions on Le Batard vs. SAS.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, country music star Jason Aldean is under fire for releasing his song "Try That In A Small Town," which the left claims have pro-lynching undertones. If you actually listen to the lyrics of the song and watch the music video, that couldn't be further from the truth. All Aldean is doing is promoting small town values that have been completely abandoned by municipalities across the country. Aldean has not backed down and is standing by his song, as he should. We here on the morning show are behind Aldean and his message. In other news of the day, the Gilgo Beach killer's wife has filed for divorce, Israeli President Isaac Herzog meets with President Biden and speaks before Congress, IRS whistleblowers exposing the Biden Crime Family testify before the oversight committee, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams puts his foot down and claims there is officially no more room for housing migrants in New York City. Nicole Malliotakis, Curtis Sliwa, Joe Tacopina, Monica Crowley, Bill O'Reilly, Bo Dietl and Dan Mason join the show on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning.
