Wednesday, May 7, 2008 – Sara Evans and Maroon 5 blend their worlds of country and pop on CMT Crossroads: Maroon 5 and Sara Evans premiering on Friday, May 9 at 9 p.m. eastern, Pacific on CMT. The one-hour special was taped before an invitation only audience in Nashville and features Evans' hits including "I Could Not Ask For More" and her new single "Some Things Never Change," as well as the Maroon 5 hits "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved."
"I've been excited to do Crossroads since CMT first started the show," said Evans. "When you are a fan of someone, like I am of Maroon 5 and then you hear them singing and playing your music - it is such an honor. Adam and I had such great chemistry, and this was an absolutely amazing experience."

"Marquee Sign," off Sara Evans' "Word" album begins with the country star announcing, "I wish you were a pack of cigarettes/'Cause you would have come with a warning." Cigarettes, like the tequila she sings about later, are clearly bad for you. Unfortunately, the man in this song didn't come labeled with a skull and cross bones. The album from whence ...
