 Will take you to a higher level March 5, 2003

Cleaning out my cassette collection I found this old favorite. I listened to it and felt deep emotions and a great uplifting. The music is masterful, inspired, and filled with joy. The words are simple but they are true. In Whenever I call you Friend (Stevie Nicks is super)- "In every moment there's a reason to carry on" -- "Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight." In Wait a Little While -"Wait a little while to welcome what you're after; Give it the time to find its way to you
And soon as you no longer try, you'll turn and find it standing by your side - Come and get it, when you let it, it'll come to you."

Kenny Loggins has had a lustrous, if somewhat up and down, musical career. This 1987 release is one of his most interesting, as it explores so many different types of music. Kenny in those days was known for what he called "mini-movies" songs. Lengthy tunes that showcased not only his vocal prowess, but his wonderful arranger's imagination. This album contains two of his best: "Nightwatch," a haunting, moody song, enhanced by his good friend Michael McDonald's backup vocals; and "Angelique," a soaring and wistful mini-opera, with a great instrumental interlude. The album also includes his version of the Doobie Brothers' smash "What a Fool Believes." While the Doobies version is probably better in the long run, Kenny does a creditable version. The album's big single, "Whenever I Call You Friend", his hit duet with Stevie Nicks, is a fun romp. Kenny also does a great cover of "Down in the Boondocks." All in all, you can forgive him for the two clunkers, "Down 'n' Dirty" and "Somebody Knows." Kenny is a great addition to any music lover's collection.
FINE SELECTION OF SONGS! May 24, 2001

Kenny Loggins remainas my favorite all-time male singer. Though not my favorite Kenny Loggins album, Nightwatch packs some very interesting and fine selection of songs. "Wait A Litte While", is a very, very good song, and together with "Heart To Heart", "Danny's Song" and "Return To Pooh Corner" are my all-time favorite Loggins songs. Kenny's version of the Doobie Brothers' "What A Fool Believes" isn't bad at all, giving it a different spice and flavor. The voice of Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald really blends well together "Whenever I Call You Friend", his duet with Stevie Nicks was a big hit in the Philippines. So this album is quite an essential part of my Kenny Loggins CD collection.
 Failed to live up to expectations May 20, 2007
Stephen W. Low (Nelson, Nelson New Zealand)
Kenny Loggins was hot property in 1978 when this album was released. By the end of his stint with Loggins and Messina, he'd forged a considerable reputation as a songwriter and singer and the duo's 7 albums had sold very well. 1977's solo outing 'Celebrate me Home' (itself a million seller) was a fabulous album with interesting themes, great melodies and a terrific production. Therefore it's follow up was highly anticipated and lead up single 'Whenever I call you friend' (a duo with Stevie Nicks) did nothing to quell this anticipation, being a well constructed hook laden number.
Unfortunate it was then that Nightwatch failed to live up to expectations.
There were in fact some terrific songs. 'Wait a little while' is superb, very evocative and as good as anything on 'Celebrate me Home'. In addition, Loggins had co written 'What a fool believes' with Micheal McDonald (later a huge hit for the Doobie brothers) and Loggin's version was very good as well. Beyond that though things weren't so good. The problem was that Loggins was now being pushed as a rock singer and the songs served up to fulfill this purpose were unconvincing. 'Easy driver', 'Down'n'dirty', and 'Down in the Boondocks' are all packed onto the old side one and might be vaguely foot stomping but are ultimately rather vacuous. The second half of the CD is more like the production of 'Celebrate me home' but lacks the charm and sophistocation of that record (apart from the magnificent 'Wait a little while'). There was enough history there however to make the next record 'Keep the fire' an automatic buy but if anything it was a further deterioration. Finally then, to get to the nuts and bolts - this CD is of the AOR/West coast genre, not dissimilar to the productions of Dan Fogelberg and Micheal McDonald era Doobie brothers. It's not the place to start on a foray into Kenny Loggin's music. A compilation would be a better place to start but in my opinion 'Celebrate me Home' and two albums with Jim Messina (Mother Lode and Full Sail) are ESSENTIAL West Coast albums. Buy those now and leave Nightwatch for later.
