Jason Aldean has connections to the Gulf Coast and Flora-Bama
Most people have heard about Jason Aldean after the music video release of his song "Try That In A Small Town" sparked backlash two years ago. The ones who accused his song and video of being hateful have only made the streams on YouTube increase to legendary numbers.
When the controversy started in 2023, Luminate, which tracks music sales and streams, says the song’s on-demand audio and video streams have increased by 999 percent — from 987,000 to 11.7 million — in the week after the publicity concerning the lyrics and the video's location history.
Aldean's famous song has since made a huge comeback with the political winds changing this year. He is also touring to sold out arenas and is scheduled to play the new Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham on September 26th.
BUT, did you know that Jason Aldean has a connection to the beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach? In 2011, after the release of his "My Kind of Party" album, he stopped by the legendary Flora-Bama. While there he shot a video discussing the history and meaning of the Flora-Bama. He also sang "Tattoos On This Town", which was a single from the new album.

Two years ago media platforms tried to pull "Try That In a Small Town” from their rotation stating that the song promoted violence. Aldean and his fans quickly denied the implication. He added the following in an interview about the controversy:
"It's been a long week, and I've seen a lot of stuff. I've seen a lot of stuff suggesting I'm this, suggesting I'm that. Here's the thing, here's one thing I feel: I feel like everybody's entitled to their opinion," Aldean said. "You can think something all you want to, it doesn't mean it's true, right?"
"What I am is a proud American," he continued. "I'm proud to be from here. I love our country, I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bulls--- started happening to us. I love our country, I love my family, and I will do anything to protect that. I can tell you that right now."
Now the song is revered as being a premonition of changes needed in the USA.
