Hi Chris,
I like balances between instruments and the prevalence of the lead vocal in the best traditions of country music, though, lead vocal feels little bit disconnected from the rest of the arrangement. I guess that lead vocal would benefit from more spaciousness and subtle 1,5 - 2 sec reverb would help here. I think that level and panning of background vocal not very good, for example, at 0:46 it starts too loud at the left side and works more like a distraction than a supplement, try to compress background vocals a little bit more and it will be easier to find appropriate level.
