Kenny and Walter were upstarts releasing their first albums; John was established thanks to his time in the Kingston Trio, but somewhat obscure solo. Singing with the likes of Don Henley and Tom Petty didn't arrive until the next decade.

Um, Kenny was far from being unknown during that time period. For the previous seven years, he was a huge part (and one half) of Loggins & Messina and had four top 20 albums (two of which were top 10) and three very popular top 20 radio singles.
During Fleetwood Mac's white album tour, they actually OPENED for Loggins & Messina.
Also, "Nightwatch" with WICYF was Loggins' SECOND solo album.
Fleetwood Mac's popularity pretty much eclipsed EVERYONE ELSE'S after "Rumours" was released but still, I would hardly call Kenny an "unknown" or an "upstart" by the time "Nightwatch" was released. If anything, he was more of a household name and she was still the "obscure girl singer" from Fleetwood Mac. I'd argue that most casual music fans didn't truly remember her name until "Bella Donna" was released a couple of years later.
Just my opinion.
