I like this. The guitars have a certain "Byrds" quality about them..... that jingle-jangle sound that they made a hallmark of their sound.

The rest is good too. Nothing like a well placed dobro to make a song work.

The question I have is about your momentary use of equal volume doubling/harmony in only a few selected parts. (:42, 1:35, 2:27) Harmony and doubling are good to use but caution must be exercised in their use. My 2 cents is that these 3 parts could have been better executed. Be sure the phrasing is spot on between the parts, be sure the harmony notes are in tune with the main vox melody, and set the levels properly on the doubling.

I hope that is some helpful advice and understand, it's simply my opinion and not hard fast rules.

Good job on the song.
