It was ten years ago that the Chris Gaines album came out. It was also ten years that the media gave itself a blackeye, by trashing one of the most incredible pieces of art in music history.

The media's treatment of this album was sickening. Garth actually had to put up with late night phone calls from Journalists asking him if he was suffering from a nervous breakdown and if he had a disorder that they were unaware of.

3. If every reviewer

Listened to the album, and based their reviews on the music on the Chris Gaines album it would be a much different story.

The whole concept was genius, but because it was Garth Brooks that came up with it, it never had a chance.

4. I am a Garth fan, and he does no wrong in my eyes.

Wasn't a fan of the whole Chris Gaines thing though. But again, Garth does no wrong to me. And I hate country music. Not old school like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, etc., but when Garth came out, I listened to him. No one else (except George Strait occasionally).

Still love me some Garth.
