Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) Max Mcnown White Vinyl edition

Anchored in the charmingly warm vocal presence that McNown partly honed by busking at the beach in Southern California just a few years ago, Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) takes the latter half of it's title from a gorgeously textured track that perfectly exemplifies his newly refined sound. With it's rootsy and ethereal instrumentation-luminous steel guitar, lush mandolin, soulful organ-"The Cost of Growing Up" arrives as a clear-eyed but melancholy meditation on the inevitability of pain.
