Here Is Version 1 ,
Didn't do to much ,Just tamed some resonant frequencies in the vocals and bass guitar.
Used Waves SSL Channel on all tracks with some minor eq adjustments to taste.
The most compression was a blue 1176 compression minus 7-8 db on the vocals.
Spent more time on trying to get more depth .
Any ideas for version 2 welcome !
This is a good effort but the first thing that stands out to me is the overuse of reverb, its a little too muddy at times.
The backing vox needs a little widening too brother, well done

Lovely mix Don, really enjoyed it.
I think the FX in the opening verse and chorus are spot on, but as mentioned already, once band comes in proper it all gets a bit much. Maybe an Abbey Road reverb EQ curve would help on the FX returns/bus - that usually sorts things out, or just automate the FX send levels down a bit.
wide vs narrow BGVs.....i'm a wide guy but i reckon narrow works if balanced right - no issues for my taste here. Mandolins are the devils spawn but i like what you've done here
Good job.
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.

Thanks for having a listen Simon ,will try your ides in the next version !
this mix is very good, Don. I would only make the reverb on the instruments less obvious especially during the intro. Other than that, the only think I can add is that I like it
