Tim McGraw hasn’t heard Jason Aldean‘s controversial “Try That in a Small Town,” nor has he seen the song’s music video. So when asked about the topic of small towns and racism in a new interview with Zane Lowe and Apple Music 1, McGraw was careful to clarify that he couldn’t comment on that song

Oliver Anthony‘s “Rich Men North of Richmond” arose seemingly out of nowhere in early August.
