Chris Gaines (born August 10, 1967 ) was a fictional Australian rock star persona created as an alter ego for Garth Brooks to explore rock and roll styles far removed from his success as a country singer.Initially, Brooks planned to feature the Gaines persona in The Lamb, a motion picture which never materialized. In 1999, Brooks released one album as Gaines; the album produced two charting Billboard singles, including the Top 5 pop hit "Lost in You."
