Southern Comfort (Conway Twitty album)

Southern Comfort is the forty-fourth studio album by American country music singer Conway Twitty. The album was released in February 1982, by Elektra Records. Twitty had signed with the label after a long tenure with MCA Records and one of its predecessors, Decca Records; the change in allegiance was owed to a change in management in MCA which also shifted its focus to marketing and promoting newer artists.

This album spawned two #1 country hits. One was in an original song called "The Clown" and the other was in a rendition of the Pointer Sisters' 1981 hit "Slow Hand", which he reworked to suit his personality. The latter single, his 29th #1 country hit, was his final multi-week #1 hit on Billboard's country single charts.
