Chris Gaines, Right Now
posted October 5, 2023 #
Back in 2019, Ashley Spurgeon and I made a Chris Gaines podcast investigating that whole Garth Brooks alter ego situation that happened in 1999.
In one episode, we discuss that there were two music videos created for the ill fated project - both directed by Jon Small. Most people are familiar with the video for "Lost in You" - where a barefoot Gaines poses dramatically while ghosts whip around him as he croons an R&B song. However, the "Right Now" video seemed to be lost to time. Neither of us had ever seen it and some fairly robust searching yielded no results.
Today on Twitter, Rach Ellie Lee reached out to ask if I'd seen this Facebook video? Amazingly, the "Right Now" video had been posted 1 month after the final episode of our podcast. I'd like to believe we inspired its discovery but I think something was just in the air.
TDLR: here's a Chris Gaines music video you probably haven't seen for a song that is a very good example of how weird the project got. Hopefully it doesn't get taken offline!
