Hey Don,
Listened to mix 2. I think that the rhythm section is balanced nicely - being a country rock/pop song, a strong bass is part of that genre's DNA. I also like the guitar effect (phase, flange or something ?) and the vocals sound good too - which isn't easy so well done on all that.
little things that make me want to reach for the console - verse vox needs a push, especially verse 1( 2-3 db). You have such a strong rhythm section that you can easily do this.
Maybe guitar solo needs a push also, or it could be the fx, as it sounds a bit like he's playing way behind the band. I think that works fine during rest of song. Maybe automate (more) reduction in fx for solo so he takes a step forward.
Good work on a tricky mix!
Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
