//Neon Rewind: Garth Brooks As Chris Gaines – Lost In You//

I almost thought to dedicate this week’s Neon Rewind to Beyonce seeing how her third and most ambitious album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, hit stores this week. But, honestly, who isn’t just a wee bit Beyonced out right now? *raises hand*

She has, however, inspired the selection of this week’s video. All this talk of singers and their alter-egos got me to thinking about another singer who took having an alter-ego to a new level: Garth Brooks. The country superstar is a certified legend and was already crossing legendary status when he decided he would let his alter-ego, Chris Gaines, release an entire album in 1999. You ’member, ‘member? 

Unlike Sasha Fierce, Gaines was a complete departure from his default personality. His music was decidedly more pop than country and he even had a completely different image (complete with some wickedly bad hair and tight, tight pants). The critics panned the idea and most took it out on the album, The Life of Chris Gaines, but the lead single “Lost In You” became one of my favorite songs.

Take a walk down memory lane or discover Chris Gaines for the first time below. You’ll swoon like crazy–or atleast your alter-ego will.
