Good job. Sounds good. I could hear the sort of verb you added on the Kick and the voice. Different than what I chose to do (single delay), but it sounds good.
Mixing this is maybe what mixing old 4 tracks or 8 tracks must have been like. The idea is that I produced the sounds as I went, so at mixdown there isn't as much producing as there might be with more raw sounds.
You can hear the version I mixed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQc_PrKVdRU
I made an arrangement change, had individual compression on some instruments( i.e. smoothing out the banjo, maybe some on the voice), and used some Ozone stereo widening on the final mix bus (as well as OTB compression). I also got to mix on a Neve Board which helped with fatness.
In the master, I did some level changes between sections and even rode the limiter harder in the final sections (more chopping off of waveforms than in the earlier part of the song). This helped me get more of a build to the song that I couldn't quite nail in the mix. No real EQ changes.
