Garth Brooks' 'Chris Gaines' album debuted 20 years ago today. Watch the bizarre documentary about Garth's alter-ego
Along with the album, Brooks also appeared in a wildly eccentric NBC special in which he performed songs from the Gaines catalog and spoke about Gaines’ first band, a teen pop group called Crush. The part-concert/part-interview even included “Did You Know” cards with Gaines trivia like “Chris was almost killed in a violent car crash in 1992. Chris spent the next two years undergoing extensive plastic surgery on his face, shoulder and hands.
The highlight of the special, which aired in September 1999, was Brooks offering fans their first glimpse of Gaines, whom he said “kind of looked like ,” albeit heavier. “I think that’s a damn good looking man right there,” Brooks quipped when the image of Gaines appeared behind him onstage.was equally bizarre, but you have to commend Brooks for committing so fully to the stunt. It was method acting of De Niro caliber, as “Gaines” sang, “some they in it for money, some they in it for love, some they in it for romance, my baby’s all of the above” in the R&B-inflected “Way of the Girl.
Brooks also poked fun at Gaines with the help of cast member Tracy Morgan, who accosts Brooks after a sketch to advise him to “drop Chris Gaines like a hot plate,” because “you can see his gut through his outfit. If you were that big, they’d be calling you Girth Brooks.” The real Brooks, who was named Entertainer of the Year at the 51st CMA Awards, is currently in the midst of a world tour. Alas, Chris Gaines has yet to make an appearance.
