Lovely song .
Here is version 1
version 2 Didn't want to mute the mandolin , put it further back in the room along withe the backing vocals and organ ,work in progress to make the sense of space more believable !
Lovely mix and song, Don! The only thing I missed was a little bit warmth in the guitars in the intro. In the rest of the song, I think they're ok because then they would be interfering with the vocals and other instruments, so with a little of automated EQ, you can fix that minor issue... Well done!

Thanks for having a listen , listening back after your comments will try the automated eq trick great idea.
Thanks .
Great intimate sound! I'm sensing some experimentation with sat/dist/clipping. The overall tone might be a bit middle rangish - nothing little abusive maul-the-band compression in the master could't take care of. Once again you've nailed it. ^_^

You are right ,I added maserati grp plugin to the master bus which is enhansing some subtle distortion on the multitracks .
Balances just perfect to me. Internally pretty coherent mix.
I agree with Kapu’s comment about mid-ranginess.
Is there in vox a bit too much saturation? Personnally I’d like to hear a bit fuller or "selling" vox in this song, for this feels like "man with a voice" recording.
Tremolo effect with mandolin (for example around 1:08) could be a bit softer. Now it takes a focus away from vox.

Thanks for having a listen olli , listening again after hearing your mixes ,i definitely rolled off too much bottom end on the vox .
version 2 coming soon based on your feedback !
The drums lock the rhythm in nicely. Well played.
You could try and side chain the mandolin around the vocal with a big RMS setting on a compressor. This approach works well and ducks quite naturally.
