It's time to give a gift, and a bunch of CDs is the obvious answer. S/he adores that certain style of music about which you know nada. All you fathom is that your friend loves to listen to that hogwash, and you want to make that dear person happy. So what do you buy? You know well enough that not every album was created equally, that even if it all sounds the same to you, to a connoisseur some CDs capture the definitive essence of the artistry, while others just aren't worth the Mylar they're made from. For this purpose alone, the Experts' Guide to the Best CDs, Albums & Tapes is one of the best, most useful resources ever compiled. Is Waylon Jennings your buddy's fave? A quick check reveals that "Honky Tonk Heroes" was one of his greatest works ever. Is you brother into Scottish music? Learn that Clishmaclaver's Roots Entwined is not to be missed. Arsenio Rodriquez's Cuban Counterpoint is brilliant for Afro-Cuban enthusiasts, Yma Sumac's Exotic Sampler contains some of her finest work, Queen Latifah's Black Reign is sure to please your rap-loving nephew, Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything? is an excellent example of classic rock, and for your jazz-loving dad, a gift of Keith Jarrett's Facing You can't miss. With reviews and ratings for over 20,000 albums from 4,000 artists in 20 music categories, this guide helps with the ticklish art of gift giving--to yourself, so you can finally build that music library you've always yearned for, and for those esteemed friends whose hearts are golden but whose musical tastes are not your own. --Stephanie Gold
