Night Owl (James Taylor song)
"Night Owl" is a song written by James Taylor that was originally released as a single by Taylor's band The Flying Machine, which also included Danny Kortchmar in 1966. Taylor later rerecorded a solo version of the song for his Apple Records debut album ''James Taylor'' in 1968. Subsequently the Flying Machine version was released on the album ''James Taylor and the Original Flying Machine''. It has also been covered by such artists as Alex Taylor, Carly Simon and Anne Murray.
==James Taylor versions==
"Night Owl" was inspired by the Night Owl Cafe in Greenwich Village in New York City, where the Flying Machine often performed. The Flying Machine version was released as a single backed by "Brighten Your Night with My Day." Taylor and the other group members were dissatisfied with their performance on the recording, considering it "mediocre."〔 Although it got some regional radio play in the northeast United States, the label declined to fund further recordings by the band.〔 Author Stephen Davis described the song as "a rollicking R&B number."〔 Tony Orlando claims to have been particularly struck by the song. Taylor later rerecorded "Night Owl," along with several other songs he wrote for the Flying Machine, such as "Knocking 'Round the Zoo," for his self-titled solo debut album on Apple Records.〔 Allmusic critic Lindsay Planer rated it as one of the "notable inclusions" on the ''James Taylor'' album. The ''James Taylor'' album included instrumental interludes between songs, and James Taylor biographer Timothy White describes the brass instruments that were used for the interlude introducing "Night Owl" as "ungainly" and sounding like the overture to a Broadway musical.〔 White does feel that the brass instruments were used better accompanying the song itself.〔
In 1971, after Taylor gained popularity with the release of his second album ''Sweet Baby James'', producer Chip Taylor issued Flying Machine demos including "Night Owl" on the album ''James Taylor and the Original Flying Machine''. Author Ian Halperin complains that for the CD reissue of ''James Taylor and the Original Flying Machine'' Chip Taylor remixed the song and added bass guitar and percussion.〔
