Hey, here’s a good lyric: “I got my own place but got no rent to pay ’cause it turns out the landlord is in prison/ But still when it’s late, I’ll take the B48 down to your house like I’m on a mission.” I love that kind of specificity. That line comes from “I Wanna Be Your Man,” the latest single from the craggy-voiced New York singer-songwriter Hank Heaven. They sing it with conversational ease over a spare acoustic guitar and some slow-swelling strings and woodwinds. I hear a nice contrast between the stately arrangement and Heaven’s dazed drawl.
