Before You Buy Someone You Love Music

Giving the gift of Christian music is a great way to show appreciation for that special person in your life, and a good CD always makes a wonderful gift. Here are some tips on picking the right CD for your friend or loved one.

First Things First - Know Their Taste

Obviously, you wouldn't buy head banging metal if your friend prefers easy listening or southern gospel. It wouldn't be something that they would enjoy and it wouldn't look like you cared enough to buy them something special.

Individual Bands vs Compilation CD

If your friend has a favorite band or two then it's easy ... just pick up a CD by that band. But if they don't, or if they already have all of the releases by a particular artist, then compilation CD's are a good option.

Buying a video of their favorite band to go along with a CD is a great combo. Maybe your friend sings, plays guitar or piano. If so, a songbook/CD combo makes an excellent one-two punch!

Concert Tickets
