Vocal is too muffled and waaaaaaaaaay too much reverb (IMO) and I luves me some reverb too.

Ditto to the above on the mix: a little less effect (delay?) on the vocals so that they sit better with less extreme left/right-ness.   I'd personally back the delay on the guitar solo too (which is subjective) and maybe knock off a little hi-mids.   You've got a good song, well worth the effort.

This is such a sad song! But it's an old fashioned country music theme, and I'm not sure who could sing it properly these days, now that the great female singers of the 40s and 50s are gone. That said, extremely well-crafted lyrics. The bridge dives even deeper into sorrow, and I guess I would have wanted it to fly a little bit, at least musically if not in the lyrics. In my opinion the song deserves to be heard.

Larry, as a songwriter, your feedback means a lot. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. Andy

Excellent song!  The vocals bring emotion to some very excellent lyrics that tell a good story!  I'm a reverb/delay hog ---so, the verb that you used didn't bother me at all.  However, it would probably be better to take the advice given above by people that know what they are talking about.  Just a wee bit of panning and mix tricks and you definitely have a keeper.

As Focusrite are giving away a couple of free mixes on CloudBounce I thought I'd give it a whirl and see what they could do with this track I posted around a year ago. Now yes I know there is still too much reverb and echo on the vocal for some, but I like it and it covers a multitude of crimes against singing. ;-)
 
I would remind all that that the piano chops are built from EzKeys and the drums programmed from EzDrummer but the rest is all me and the lyrics are original by me also.
 
I think I also fixed most of the other suggested improvements from previous comments (or have tried to at least) so re-presented for your delight and critical evaluation I give you: Wine o'Clock 
 
p.s. and yes I know it's a sad song but a man has to have inspiration from somewhere.
