Chris Gaines

Chris Gaines is a short-lived fictional rock persona created as a movie character for Garth Brooks to explore musical styles different from his success as a country singer.

Initially, Brooks planned to feature the Gaines persona in The Lamb, a motion picture that never materialized. In 1999, Brooks released Garth Brooks in... the Life of Chris Gaines, his only album as Gaines. The album produced two charting US Billboard Hot 100 singles, including the top 5 pop hit "Lost in You".
