    “Try That in a Small Town” - The Song That Sparked a Nation-Wide Debate
    Jun 1 2025
    Join veteran music critic Leonard "Lenny" Vaughn as he dissects one of 2023's most controversial country songs. With decades of musical expertise and his signature no-nonsense approach, Lenny explores Jason Aldean's polarizing hit from every angle—its C minor composition, the Nashville songwriting craft behind it, and why this three-and-a-half-minute track became a cultural lightning rod. From the technical musicology to the cultural firestorm, Lenny delivers an unflinching analysis that cuts through the noise to examine what really makes this song tick, and what its explosive reception reveals about America's cultural divisions. This isn't just music criticism—it's cultural archaeology from someone who's seen it all and isn't afraid to tell you what it means.
