Excerpt:
1999: Chris Gaines
In 1999 Brooks and his production company Red Strokes Entertainment, with Paramount Pictures, began to develop a movie in which Brooks would star. The Lamb was to have revolved around Chris Gaines, a fictional rock singer and his emotionally conflicted life as a musician in the public eye. To create buzz for the project, Brooks took on the identity of Gaines in the October 1999 album Garth Brooks in ... The Life of Chris Gaines, which was intended as a 'pre-soundtrack' to the film.[32] Brooks also subsequently appeared as Gaines in a television mockumentary for the VH1 series Behind the Music and as the musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live which he hosted as himself.
Brooks's endless promotion of the album and the film did not seem to stir much excitement and the failure of the Chris Gaines experiment became fairly evident mere weeks after the album was released. Although critics admired Brooks for taking a musical risk, the majority of the American public was either totally bewildered, or completely unreceptive to the idea of Garth Brooks as anything but a pop-country singer.[33] Many of his fans also felt that by supporting the Gaines project they would lose the real Garth Brooks.[34] 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 began heavily discounting their oversupply.[35] Less than expected sales of the album (more than two million) and no further developments in the production of the film as a result brought the project to an indefinite hiatus in February 2001 and Gaines quickly faded into obscurity.[36]
Despite the less than spectacular response to the Chris Gaines project, Brooks gained his first – and only – US Top 40 pop single in "Lost in You", the first single from the album.

The song warned of the dangers of technology, portraying a future in which the human race would at length be destroyed by its own technological and medical innovations and Divine wrath. The last stanza of the song intimates a continuing cycle of birth, death and rebirth of mankind.

[edit] Release and reception
Released near the beginning of his career, "The Dance" was a big hit single around the world, including the United States, Europe, Ireland, etc, charting inside the British pop Top 40 [2]. In 1990, it was titled both Song of the Year and Video of the Year by the Academy of Country Music. It was awarded the #14 position in the CMT 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music broadcast and also the #5 position on the network's The Greatest: 100 Greatest Music Videos special.In 2001, after the death of Dale Earnhardt, Brooks was invited to the NASCAR Awards Ceremony that was honoring Earnhardt to play the song as a tribute.[3]

Excerpt2:
1) Born Troyal Garth Brooks on February 7, 1962, Brooks attended Oklahoma State University on a javelin scholarship, but received his degree in advertising with a minor in marketing--studies which he has put to good use in his career.
2) Judging by Brooks's 1999 activities, he's handling it in an interesting way indeed. For this was the year when Brooks put on a black wig and a pile of makeup and unveiled the character of Chris Gaines, a fictional pseudo-goth-looking pop star who had supposedly racked up great success in the '80s, then suffered a disfiguring accident and re-emerged in the spotlight drastically altered by plastic surgery. In...The Life Of Chris Gaines, purported to be a Gaines greatest-hits collection, stripped away nearly all the remaining country elements from Brooks's music in favor of more or less convincing R&B and light rock stylings. Odder still was Brooks's subsequent appearance on Saturday Night Live, in which he was the host and Chris Gaines was the musical guest. It turned out all this seeming schizophrenia was a preview of sorts for The Lamb, an upcoming film in which Brooks will play the role of Gaines. Yup, that marketing degree sure has been a good investment.
