Editorial Review:
In... The Life of Chris Gaines is a way for Garth Brooks to indulge his rock-star fantasies without directly putting his country credibility on the line. This fictional greatest-hits album is supposedly a prequel to a movie (The Lamb) in which Brooks will assume the role of a mysterious Australian-born pop singer. The first single, "Lost in You," sounds like Kenny Loggins auditioning for a role in the Backstreet Boys. Gaines's other "hits" range from the funk-lite of "Snow in July" to the Prince-like "The Way of the Girl," the Beatlesesque "Maybe," and the blatant Wallflowers rip "Unsigned Letter." The tune on which Brooks most resembles the cat in the hat we all know is the melancholy ballad "It Don't Matter to the Sun." The most provocative tune is "Right Now," which interpolates (really) the Youngbloods' hippie classic "Get Together" with Cheryl Wheeler's antigun screed "If It Were Up to Me." As himself, Garth Brooks has sold almost 100 million albums. If he's lucky, many of those fans will forgive him for Chris Gaines. --Rick Mitchell
The Life Of Chris Gaines Reviews:
Love this album! 
2009-11-01 - Having lost my original copy of this album, I spent years trying to track one down locally. (I don't like buying CD's or DVD's used online - too many bad experiences), but finally I accepted that I wasn't going to find this CD in my local Waterloo.
Great Condition, Good Shipping!
Wow!
2009-09-17 - This album, in my opinion, is one of Garth's best. Too bad the movie deal for this fell through.
An Interesting side of Garth Brooks.
2009-09-14 - I had bought the cassette tape of this album when it first came out, and though some people felt it was too far from his country roots, I really enjoyed it. I no longer have a cassette player in my car, so I was very glad to find it on CD.
GARTHS BEST EVER
2009-08-23 - WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS CD I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, AFTER LISTNING TO IT I COULDN'T WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT. I'VE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT GARTH HAD LEGENDARY DON WAS PRODUCE THIS ALBUM. THAT MEANS GARTH WAD SERIOUS ABOUT THIS BECAUSE DON WAS IS ONE OF THE BEST. THE MUSIC IS TIMELESS AND WILL BE ON MY PLAYLIST 4-EVER. BUY IT IT'S GREAT.

Good CD, but in poor shape 
2009-02-23 - The CD is great and I was glad I found it. It said I was ordering a new CD that was still in the original wrapping. When I got it, the cd was obviously used, not in a wrapping, and the case was even cracked. I was disappointed.
