Billy Currington has a hard luck story about a former girlfriend that he recently shared with a Chicago radio station. A while back, Currington's girlfriend decided to leave him but goodbye wasn't quite enough so she decided to get even. While Billy was out on tour, the girlfriend called the city and reported that there was a nuisance in the street. That nuisance was Billy's fishing boat parked out along the curb. The city came and hauled Billy's boat off and like cities often do, after having it impounded for a while they auctioned it off. Billy's girlfriend then bought the boat and resold it.

Josh Turner releases his fourth studio album, Haywire, today, which features his freshly-minted #1 hit "Why Don't We Just Dance." The tune snags the top spot this week on the Billboard Country Singles chart for Josh, making it Turner's third chart-topper of his career.
Josh reveals just what else fans can find on his new CD besides the hit debut single:
"I think the record is definitely covering a lot of bases, so I think Haywire is a good title for the album because we've got everything on there, from kind of a bluegrassy number to just hard driving country songs. There's one kind of a old school R&B type song on there and there's a gospel song on there that I wrote that I feel like is my best yet, so it covers a lot of, you know, parts of my personality."
Fans have the option of purchasing either a regular or deluxe edition of the album. The deluxe copy includes the addition of two unreleased tracks, live versions of Turner's #1 "Your Man" and "Long Black Train," the "Why Don't We Just Dance" music video, behind-the-scenes footage and more!
