Childish Gambino Covers Garth Brooks’ 1999 Alter-Ego Chris Gaines
Actor Donald Glover — aka singer/rapper Childish Gambino — recently stopped by Triple J in Australia and covered the Garth Brooks’ 1999 Chris Gaines’ ballad “Lost In You.”
Childish Gambino replaced the acoustic guitar with organ and a small choir.

The character Chris Gaines, who Garth created as his rock alter-ego, is now twenty years old and having bit of a comeback on the internet and will be the subject of Gainesfest 2019: A Celebration of The Life of Chris Gaines started by fans that will play out in September in Gallatin, Tennessee.
