brown described hearing his song on the radio: "the first time i hear 'chicken fried' on the radio and it wasn't us singing it. it was a nightmare." brown then called his lawyer to have the song pulled from the radio immediately. brown's lawyer warned him that because of galante's power in the nashville music scene that pulling the song could essentially have him blackballed in nashville. brown was insistent that his agreement with the lost trailers was violated, so his lawyer issued a cease and desist letter and the single was pulled from the radio.
