I'll keep sending it to you if you don't.

I know you will! And one of your favorite moments of the BuckVie shows was when she sang it…

Probably, thee favorite moment. And she was "on" the nights I saw her.

For me, it's a tie. From Love In Store to Oh Diane, every song can fit perfectly in a personal mood. This album is fantastic, as every song inside. Even on this one I could say that Stevie Nicks has a good credit, as That's Alright is a "happy" song, Gpysy the "sweet" one and Straight Back the "rocker" one. But every songwriter has a great work here!

Not surprising to see a near 3-way split for Mirage as each writer has at least one outstanding tune. I went with Stevie because of Gypsy, one of her best ever writings and the best production Lindsey has ever offered one of her songs and that's saying a lot because most of his production of her songs is perfect. Gypsy just knocks it out of the park in every way. That's Alright and Straight Back are also great, when have we since heard Stevie on a Fleetwood Mac album so committed to her craft. Of course Christine's Hold Me gives them their best ever performing chart single and no wonder, it's a genius pop song. However, her other songs are not up to this standard. To qualify though, when has she ever written a bad song. Lindsey brings Book of Love which I think is his best Mirage song, a happier, more accessible What Makes You Think YOu're the One, his shining moment on Tusk. Like Christine, his other songs are weaker. All and all, I love this album and it has a warm sound that was never to be again.
