Andrew,

Very nice - very nice.

I do have some suggestions which you can toss if you like:

1. I would intro the song slightly differently from a volume/buildup standpoint. It's 'on' on the first beat. Consider perhaps just the steel string acoustic guitar for the first 3.5 measures then bring in the drums on a fill to lead into the verse.

2. On Marg's vocal, you might try high-pass filtering it at perhaps 150-200 hz or so, then using some compression to bring her voice up front a little more in the mix. There's some parts here and there where she has some low-frequency stuff that dominates the level. Once that's set, perhaps some very light reverb to put her in the same room as the mando and drums.

3. The rhythm mix seems biased to the right channel. I'm only hearing your pedal steel and marg's vox showing up in the left channel - and when the solo steel string comes in, it's in the left.

4. The pedal steel could certainly come up even more between phrases.

Nice showcase of RealTracks - no artificial sound there whatsoever.
