It sounds really high quality (better than the bulk of her demos), I wonder where it came from

I have it, but I'm not sure where I got it from... I can try and find it though.

The only bad thing about this version is toward the middle-end where she overdubs but changes the lyrics so it doesn't match up and throws everything off.

That song should of gotten country airplay.It would been a great follow up to After The Glitter fades from the BD album which did get some country airplay.

Straight Back has always been one of my favorite Stevie songs. I love the extended version where she sings at the end "Remember this."

Holy crap, I love you. That Studio version is what I have been looking for for AGES - essentially, the version I have, but without the distracting layered vocals that don't match up...

Same here! "That's Alright" is one of my favorites. I consider it as one of her country songs.

Nah, that honor either goes to Tango In The Night or Behind The Mask.

Very cool. Thank you!

I love Stevie's songs on Mirage. "That's Alright" is a great, compact country song. I only wish they had mixed the woodblock higher up in the mix, I think that would have added some nice atmosphere to it. "Straight Back" is nicely atmospheric and I love the dense production on it.

IMO Stevie was contributing top notch songs to all four of the first Fleetwood Mac albums. She only slipped on Tango and Behind the Mask.

Vocally Stevie was at or near her peak for the Mirage sessions as well IMO.The sessions where the bulk of her vocals were recorded came right after the recording of Bella Donna.She left for France right after Bella Donna wrapped so she was kind of a captive at the" Honky Chateau" for a few weeks otherwise Fleetwood Mac probably wouldn't even gottens as much out of her as they did.For Tango she probably did a total of less than two weeks of work on an album that took eighteen months.

Yeah. Its amazing that her voice was so shaky on Tusk but came back so strong on Bella Donna and Mirage.
