I like it.
It sounds like the music they play on step dance night at the local country club... and that is a popular night.
I think at 1:40 the melody switches over to cool jazz and takes away from the swing hall feel. The motifs earlier on convey a country conviction... by 1:50 the jazz flag is flying.
I like the pumping drums... lots of country music uses the latest sounds... and this is a good example.
.
The synth filler seems totally unnecessary... and just detracts from the dynamics that I think are still retained in most country mixes. I'd make it go away and enjoy the guitar playing.
The picking sounds hot... good stuff.
Where is that photo from? It reminds me of an old friends sculpture work.
