The mix in general feels quite narrow to me, somehow, so that the slide interjections and some of the cymbals/tom hits feel rather jarring. I'd be inclined to paint out to the edges more with effects in particular (which seem pretty thin on the ground in general) to 'include' the slide more within the overall presentation.
Speaking of effects, there's precious little 'blend' to speak of, and my next move with this mix in general would be to experiment with some short reverbs in particular to get everything feeling like it's all playing at once, and that the different instruments have appropriate front-back perspectives relative to each other. Notice, for example, how the snare is quite far back, whereas the toms and cymbals are right up front.
