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.
Donald Glover and Garth Brooks do share the distinction though of being the only two Saturday Night Live hosts to ever have hosted as themselves with their alter ego as the musical guest.
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.
Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s.
Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
