What happens when a Missouri farm girl and a classic rock band from Illinois meet up on a soundstage in Nashville?

Pure magic!

Sara Evans recently crossed paths with classic rockers REO Speedwagon for an episode of the CMT series Crossroads. The series brings together artists from the worlds of country and rock to share music, memories and experiences in a setting that lends it to the intimate feeling of a small club performance.

On the most recent episode, Evans and REO teamed up on the classic power ballad "Keep On Loving You". The song, from one of the most successful rock albums of all time, REO Speedwagon's 1980 smash, Hi Infidelity. The song became the first REO song to crack the top 50, and became the band's first #1 hit in March of 1981, leading the way for the album to sell over 9 million copies in the US and more than 15 million world-wide.
