I think the balance is good, and it could be just perfect for another country song, but for the mood of this song you probably have too many sharp sounds here.
If you listen the melody and character of the male voice in this song, I think he needs a softer environment. With little bit less edge in the band, the best delicate nuances of the singer's voice will have more room to shine.
I've heard some of your mixes and I know you have a good ear for human voice. So, forget the genre related issues, and just follow your intuition and you have superb mix after one hour.
I think that another big challenge in this song is to make the distant electric guitar and close drum sound to fit together. That's another thing where you could try to find a solution.
From totally another side of world,
Olli
