Night Diving (The Cost Of Growing Up) [CD]

Max Mcnown - Night Diving (The Cost Of Growing Up) [CD]

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 its title from a gorgeously textured track that perfectly exemplifies his newly refined sound. With its 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.

''To me, the cost of growing up is an acceptance that difficult things are going to happen-from minor inconveniences to devastating loss, it's all a part of life,'' says McNown. ''But there's also beauty in that because, without those hard moments, you wouldn't be able to truly love.''
