Jason Aldean has connections to the Gulf Coast and Flora-Bama
By now everyone has heard about Jason Aldean after the music video release of his song "Try That In A Small Town" sparked backlash. The ones who accused his song and video have only made the streams on YouTube increase almost 1000%.
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.
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.

Recently country music video channel CMT pulled Aldean's new song "Try That In a Small Town” 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."
