Apart from that, i like your mix a lot.

cheers, Simon

People have already mentioned the mandolins and acoustic guitar so I think if you did any changes based on those comments that would probably give the vocals more space and have them stand out more.

That said it's a very good sound that just needs some minor tweaks.

personally I would pull the snare back just a bit so that it sits below the Vocals, but that's just me

I almost got a sense of Simon and Garfunkle in your mix. I do wonder why you have not cleaned up the ending. I guess there will be more mixes to come. when is it ever done, huh?

Well done so far.

You could try and side chain the mandolin around the vocal with a big RMS setting on a compressor. This approach works well and ducks quite naturally.
