Having provided the context for the life of Garth Brooks and the life of Chris Gaines, it’s time for us to pull together the disparate threads and document the events from early 1999 through the release of In the Life of Chris Gaines (and a little beyond).

From joining the San Diego Padres in Feb, to announcing the album in March, to the tragic passing of Brooks mother, to the talk show circuit that followed; we try to sew it all together for you.
