Welcome to the forum and the family.

My initial attraction to band in a box was also it's absolutely amazing steel guitar. Once I found out what it can do I was hooked.

I listened to the song and it's a good write. Your live playing is really well done as well. Nice clean acoustic sound. I didn't really hear a lot of issues with the mix. My nits are only a few. Personally, I'd bring the drums up a bit and give them more punch.
The vocals are good. The rockabilly feel to the song allows for the feel I got from the reverb echo. Again, personally, I would back off the FX and work on getting the vox in the same sonic space with the band and more up front.

The running time on the song approaches 6 minutes but it's a personal song so time limits don't apply in the same way they do for other reasons.

BTW.... Do you have a sawmill? It's a kind of hobby that I have and use for personal woodworking projects. I tend to cut a lot of firewood on it....

I enjoyed the fun, energy, and groove of your song.
