     I haven't heard the original Crosby, Nash version but this sounds like a good workman like job.
    I would suggest that the guitar could come up slightly in volume and watch the vocal intonation in
    a couple of places.
    Not sure about the ending. Seemed rather abrupt, but perhaps it's meant to?

    Thanks for listening and feeding back. The ending follows the original, which in other respects we didn't really set out to mimic. If it's not a bother, would you be able to specify where the intonation sounded off? I'm too close t it to hear it :-/

    It's nothing major, just a very slight flatness on some words for example at 0.32 "as you get" and at
    1.27 "I have someone" and also at 1.59 and 2.38.
     
    Don't sweat it, because overall you have a fine voice and have done a fine job. And maybe I'm just a bit
    too picky.

    Would like to hear the guitar more (maybe pan a little further and brighten the higher end around 5k?). Otherwise, sounds good. I've always loved that song. Never heard anyone cover it. Not many could.

    Nice performances.
    The lead vocal is definitely over-modulating from time to time. Sounds like you sang too close to the mic.
    The guitar needs some sparkle.
    The bgvox could come up significantly.
