Nice work - catchy tune, good mix, excellent vocals. I love the harmony.

A caveat to my mix comments: I'm listening to the mix through a pair of inexpensive headphones, so it might be coloring things.

I think the bass could be dialed back a bit. But I don't listen to contemporary country, so that that with a huge grain of salt. But I kept noticing it, which (to me) isn't a good thing if it's not doing something (like a riff or accent) that should be calling attention to it.

And while I love the rhythm guitar - nice EQ, punchy and bright - I agree with Kemmrich. The constant chugging quickly gets wearisome, especially since it's at (what sounds like) the same level throughout the song. If it was backed down (or the high end rolled off) except for key parts in the song, I think it would work. As it is, it's so prominent in the mix that it kept drawing my attention away from the vocal. For a rhythm support part, it seemed awfully forward in the mix.

But those are minor nits. This is really, really well done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
