It's already been mentioned, but I believe That's Alright is the secret portal of Stevie's voice change from "before" to "after". Do you know what I mean? And Gypsy? Is "after" the portal. Spooky, no? Same album...other side of the portal...ooooo....ooooo
Personally Angel is my favorite underrated song. That's alright second, Kind of Woman third. Today.

i know what you mean ... that's alright still has her early clarity, whereas gypsy has a different, older, more WH texture.

for me it's that alright, angel, storms, never forget.

Blue Letter, Angel and That's Allright are, for me, the most underrated Fleetwood Mac songs. Stevie wise I'd say No Spoken Word, Doing the Best I Can and for some reason Greta and Blue Denim seem to take a beating sometimes and I love both of those.

Maybe this is the case because "That's Alright" is an older song, recorded in demo-form years before it was used on "Mirage," whereas "Gypsy" seems to have been written for the sessions.

She was already used to singing the former and could, therefore, aproach the old style of singing. ...I don't know if this makes any sense. But I too hear a difference in vocal attack between those songs.

it's possible. her voice is so beautiful on that track ... as it was on that "sleeping angel" demo done with FM around the same time. she did several gypsy demos with tom petty, perhaps that affected the way she sang it on the final take? hmm.
