Actually, though Gypsy could be the most beautiful collaborative effort by them ever, Wish You Were Here is one of my fav. CM songs ever. I think it is stunning. Though I really like her other stuff (I love Hold Me (another stunning group effort) and Love in Store), I think CM is best when she stays true to the bluesy piano a la Wish You Were Here. Also, the harmonies on WYWH are cool.
Interstingly, La Nicks plays this song during the Rolling Stone photo shoot around the time of Bella Donna (ditto for the music to Can't Go Back). So, this song must predate that time.
Also, I love Mirage.
