Country music stars Brantley Gilbert and Jason Aldean are making headlines as they stand up for their beliefs amidst controversy. Gilbert defended Aldean during a recent concert amidst backlash over his new single, “Try That in a Small Town,” a song encouraging unity against crime and unpatriotic behavior. As a response, Gilbert has released a new ballad, “Bury Me Upside Down.” Despite criticism, Aldean’s song has reached the top spot on the iTunes charts and has received support from high-ranking officials. However, in a controversial move, Country Music Television has removed the music video for Aldean’s song over certain footage. Both Gilbert and Aldean’s actions underline the music industry’s current tension.
