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:
Garth Brooks / Chris Gaines 4 Star Review
2009-11-25 - This is a great Pop album and shows the true range of Garth Brooks, rightfully a country music star, but as others have said this is in no way a country album. For anyone who is confused, this is a "pre-soundtrack" for a movie in which Garth Brooks was planned to have starred, called "The Lamb" about the life of pop star Chris Gaines. Many of Garth's fans at the time were highly upset that Garth had made a stab into the Pop arena and the from what I understand the movie production company decided not put to the money into PR for the movie when the country fans became confused about the direction Garth was taking. I think it would have been interesting if the movie had made it to the screen.

Purchased a bad CD 1 Star Review
2009-11-16 - THE CD I purchased skips badly. I purchased it for songs # 2 and # 4. Song number 4 does not play at all. After Song # 3, the entire CD skips all the way through.

Love this album! 5 Star Review
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! 5 Star Review
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. 5 Star Review
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.
