Trying to determine the Best CDs of 2011 reminds me of a scene from the annual Christmas special, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Santa ponders his list of boys and girls, and finally decides they’ve all been pretty good.I’ve come across a number of worthy releases during the past year, but protocol dictates that I pick a Top 10. So, here in no particular order, are my 10 favorites: Note: Technically, some of these were released in late 2010.
