I haven't mixed this one yet so I don't really know the tracks.
My gut reaction is the vocal is a little loud. Through the first half, or maybe just the first verse it's a bit too much the focus. Later on when there are more elements in the song besides just vocal and guitar the vocal sits better. It's tough because on one hand this is a song that wants the vocal to be up from and the focus but on the other it's a bit emotional and needs to pull the listener in but without bombast. It's a fine line.

Roy, yes it is a fine line between a touch too present and a touch too loud. I did say I was focusing on what I consider to be an excellent vocal performance. It is that which I wanted to bring people in with and then have the instruments close around them. Fine line.

I think the hard 'k' sounds in the vocal could be tamed a bit. At least, in the 2nd halves of the verses. Just a db or two.
The guitar might be a bit too percussive. I wish it had more 'tone'. I don't know if that's the mix or the recording.
The reverse reverb going into the first verse could come back.

Fine line again on the guitar tone. It began to step on the vocal's low mids so those are reserved in the guitar track and hence the loss of 'tone'. I wanted the guitar to be more rhythm than tone so as not to distract from the vocals.

I went between limiting and compression on an LA-2A as the last thing on the acoustic guitar chain to try and knock down the transients. I may have chosen wrong. But great ear, Roy. I think volume automation in places might place those transient passages in better perspective.

These are all nit picks. It sounds pretty good. I can't say I hear anything negative from any bus compression.

Thanks for the comments.
