I think this song is very difficult to mix. First I tried to make a dry treatment for this song. I couldn't make it work at all. In the end of this song the singer asks for the "Lion King" treatment for the vocals. So I gave it to him: wet and present. After that decision everything was much easier.
The vocal reverb was also inspired by Lefty Frizzell's "Long Black Veil".
Otherwise I was listening Ray Charles' modern recordings.
