    Nice clean production.
     
    I'd move the extreme panning a bit closer to center on the guitars.  Aside from that.... this sounds really nice.  Performance is tight as it needs to be.  Nice harmony vox.   It does remind me of some of the underground country rockers of the 80's...... nice stuff.

    Really nice sounding!  Very clean, punchy and mixed great.  I like the spread on the guitars.  It's fun to really hear each part that way.  At the start of verse 1, I think you brought the guitars down too much or maybe the vocal is too hot.  Then between verses the guitars come back up for Intro 2.  So, I think you could blend the vocal into the song and keep the guitars more up front.  
    I really like the vocal and harmony.  Song is very good.

    Nice mix!  I kinda like the panning on the guitars too - they are wide but I like the definition it provides.
     
    The only critique I could have is that the lead vocals sound like they were sung a bit softly.   The guitars have a nice edge and attitude to them so I expect the vocals to do the same.   Either way the song sounds great.

    This is quite nice. I'm not a big country fan but this sounds really cool. I like how the guitars work together on either side.
     
    Very well done!

    Very Mark Knopfler-esque vocal. 
    Sounds more like Classic Rock than Country to me. But I like it all the same. Very clean, present guitar. Love the tone of the guitars. Nice job all around.

    Production sounds well here and the playing and singing sound good to.
