This is my try

A reasonably solid mix overall, but I feel there are some issues.
I couldn't help but notice that the cymbals seem "uneven," the sound kind of "warbling," as if the sound of other instruments is interfering. I suspect this may be due to improper use of compression; in a song like this, compression use should be minimized as much as possible IMHO, and there should be, I think, NO compression in the mastering stage.
The drums sound a bit flat and muffled, as if they were recorded through a big down comforter. Did you apply some kind of compression and/or EQ to them? From what I remember of the original mix notes, the drums already had some compression applied so if you used compression on them that might be part of the problem.
Dobro sounds a little low; I'd bring that up a good 3-5 dB.
And why does everyone want to bury that poor, beautiful backing vocal (seems to be a common problem with this song)? Your lead vocal level is good, but bring that backing vocal up a bit.
