I concur with your statements. Mirage has a organic sense of intimacy. Tango has a different vibe. Over many years, I've come to appreciate the divergent aspects of Lindsey's songs. Empire State is so uniquely Lindsey; its quirkiness gives a jolt to a rather safe album. Can't Go Back is the
should have been single.
For years I've derided the merits of Oh Diane for years, but I now digress. It's just a thin blip of a song channeling Buddy Holly. Undemanding and pleasant, it serves its intended purpose and asks for nothing in return. In its brevity, it's sort of like his song That's Enough for Me. Issued as a single in the UK, it was a minor hit. I have the 12" picture single. Nice artwork.
