Warmly welcome to your feedback. Thank you!

This sounds great! Warm and natural, just like this kind of music should sound. The way heard it, the first part of the solo is a steel guitar solo, and the second part is mandolin solo. You seem to have made the same decision

There are just a couple of things I think you could improve:
- The sibilance of the vocal is a bit distracting. You could try tweaking your de-esser or adding a slight low pass filter to the vocals.
- There is a bit too much going on in this mix. I would recommend muting the mandolins during some parts of the song. When mixing this, I found that mandolin 1 worked best as the "lead" and I only kept mandolin 2 in some parts. This is a great recording, so the sound is good as long as you don't mess it up. The part that's really tricky about this one is to clean up the crowded arrangement. I think muting and automation are the best tools for this.
