Also, it sounded like you didn't use as much of the acoustic or unamped version of the guitar sound. That is my favorite part of the guitar sound, speaking as the artist. I love all the creaks and moans the wood makes.

As the artist on this track, there are a few small corrections I wish that I could have made if there was time. There are a few dry mouth sounds that I would duck out (0:28-0:32) and a couple of tuning spots (i.e. only in "body is only made" 0:43)
That said, it is a good idea to listen to the track that Oz Fritz mixed. For one, the accordion doesn't come in until later 1:40. The part gets better then and it also helps build the overall arrangement. Second, the way he balances the instruments is very instructional.
I would also suggest bringing out pedal steel and accordion parts in certain spots to help give the arrangement more "oomph". I.e. 4:28 and 4:45 are beautiful accordion parts.
I also notice you dropped the accordion around the 2:50 mark. Any reasons why? Was it to give it more oomph for the final verse. Cool idea. How do you think it works compared to the original mix?
