>"I Could Be Anything" APOSTLES
Nifty wah-wah guitar, shadowy lyrics punch up this power ballad by an L.A. club band. From Apostles. (Victory/PLG)
"Crucified" ARMY OF LOVERS
Disco goes to church in this hip-hop hallelujah, with enough vocal overdubs to make the Mormon Tabernacle Choir jealous. From Massive Luxury Overdose. (Giant)
"God Bless the Child" MARY OSBORNE
Billie Holiday's proud, bitter ballad is tenderly illuminated by this gifted yet little-known jazz guitarist who started playing in her native North Dakota in 1936 and died suddenly last year, at 71, as this album of 1981 and 1959 sessions was being prepared. From A Memorial. (Stash)
