Lovely mix Don, really enjoyed it.
I think the FX in the opening verse and chorus are spot on, but as mentioned already, once band comes in proper it all gets a bit much. Maybe an Abbey Road reverb EQ curve would help on the FX returns/bus - that usually sorts things out, or just automate the FX send levels down a bit.
wide vs narrow BGVs.....i'm a wide guy but i reckon narrow works if balanced right - no issues for my taste here. Mandolins are the devils spawn but i like what you've done here
Good job.
Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
