Lady Antebellum's new album Golden entered the Billboard country charts at #1 this week.

Conway Twitty is a two-timin' son-of-a-gun in "(Lying Here With) Linda on My Mind."

The cheating song takes place in the mind of a married man consumed by thoughts of his wife's best friend.

Is it just me, or is this not going to turn out pretty?
