Comment:

Mom. Ma. Mumsy. [i]Madre[/i]. Mommie Dearest. Mother. Whatever you call her, she’s the most important person in your life, at least on this day, [i]her[/i] day, Mother’s Day. You could give her a box of candy or a scarf or some kinda funky perfume she probably won’t even wear (although she’ll never tell you), or . . . you could give her something she really wants, something she’ll use the whole year round: music. Now, there are as many kinds of Mother’s Day musical choices as there are moms themselves, but don’t fret and stew — we’ve got you (and her) covered. From Billie Holiday to Kanye West, from the Louvin Brothers to Taylor Swift, our [i]Mother’s Day[/i] Essentials is a gift that fits any size, shape, or taste, singing a song of love all year long.
