Hmmmmm Country Music People?

Hey you all, i'm not a huge fan of country music, but I listen to some of it....like the slow love songs that I think are cute. lol Anyway, remember when Garth Brooks kind of morphed into another person? What was it called? I actually thought that he was doing a type of biopic about a rock star...there was a lot of hype surrounding it, but then I didn't hear much about it. The only reason I even know about it is because I remembered on some show I was watching years ago, the song came on and they said it was Garth Brooks singing for another guy...i'm guessing it was a song he was covering by the original artist whom he was portraying. Anyway, I heard the song again on a soap opera, and really loved it. I remember the song, but I don't know much about the whole situation. Anyone know what i'm talking about?

Chris Gaines

In 1999 Brooks launched upon a conceptually ambitious and unorthodox multi-media project. He wanted to star in a thriller film in development called The Lamb that was about an emotionally conflicted fictional pop/rock star named Chris Gaines. He got the role, with Don Was to produce it. To prepare for the film, Brooks then decided to become Chris Gaines, adopting an alter ego look and personality鈥攕limmer, black hair, soul patch, somewhat angst-ridden鈥攁nd constructing a sizable back story. Much of this back story had to be musical, so with altered style and voice Brooks recorded Gaines' "Greatest Hits" album, In the Life of Chris Gaines. This was announced to the world, and met with a confused reaction, in May 1999.

In October 1999, this album, now titled Garth Brooks In ... The Life of Chris Gaines, was finally released. It can best be described as a collection of Brooks's experiments in other popular music genres, such as alternative rock and rhythm and blues. It received mixed reviews in the United States, although in the United Kingdom the magazine Country Music People referred to it as "a work of genius".

A mockumentary, Garth Brooks ... In The Life of Chris Gaines was also made and shown on VH1 in that same year. Additionally, Brooks appeared once as guest host on Saturday Night Live with Gaines as special musical guest.

The success of the Chris Gaines experiment was decidedly doubtful mere weeks after the album was released. Some critics admired Brooks for demonstrating his range as a musician and actor, but most of the American public was either totally bewildered, or completely unreceptive to the idea of Garth Brooks as anything but a pop-country singer. Many of his fans also felt that by supporting the Gaines project they would lose the real Garth Brooks. Sales of the album were unspectacular, and although it made it to #2 on the pop album chart, expectations had been higher and retail stores were heavily discounting their oversupply.

The Lamb film project, which had been the genesis of the whole idea, was then cancelled and "Chris Gaines" quickly faded away into obscurity.

Chris Gaines. He used an Austrailian accent. He did the soundtrack to coincide with the movie but for some reason the movie was never made. The soundtrack was released and is quite good, I have it.
country music died about 20 yr.s ago.may it rest in peace.
Look up the 'Dixie Chicks', they are soooooooooo wonderful!
Garth Brooks loved Chris Leadux's (sp?) music. I know every song Garth ever sang, huge fan, but I don't rememer him ever using another name. Can you tell me some of the words of the song, bet I would know it.

yes, Garth Brooks put out a rock album called something along the lines of "the life of Chris Gaines" that he did all the singing for, for a movie he had a hand in producing, but the movie fell through, so the album has now come to be described as his "alter-ego" album
