I have the following setup:

Users hasAndBelongsToMany Albums
Albums belongsTo Artists

It's easy enough to retrieve all the users albums with:

$user = $this->User->read(null, $id);

This populates $user['Album'].  But what is the best practice for
getting the artist info associated with the album?

This seems like a fairly common occurrence so I figure I'm missing
something obvious here, hopefully it's not too vague.

Here's the query it's executing:

SELECT `Album`.`id`, `Album`.`artist_id`, `Album`.`name`,
`Album`.`created`, `Album`.`modified`, `AlbumsUser`.`id`,
`AlbumsUser`.`album_id`, `AlbumsUser`.`user_id` FROM `albums` AS
`Album` JOIN `albums_users` AS `AlbumsUser` ON (`AlbumsUser`.`user_id`
= 2 AND `AlbumsUser`.`album_id` = `Album`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1
