I'm not a country man myself and rarely listen to songs from that genre. I would say though the mix is very open, nice and wide. The arrangement also works very nicely.
 
The instruments have been very well recorded although I don't really feel the drum track it sounds set too far back in the sound stage for me, although the snare does care through and the roll at 3:27 mark.

Very enjoyable.  Has all the elements of a great country tune.  Soap Opera type lyrics, nice rich instrumentation and a great lead vocal.  Love it!  I think you've found your "Golden Key" with this song.

Actually, I paid $750 open box. It's worth it... and I have mics that cost quite a bit more than that. I bought it after reading the reviews, the sound on sound review and discussion on gearslutz. It works. 
I don't know how much time I am going to have to do this though. I just was hired to play steel, banjo, and mando for a new Nashville artist.  Her new CD was recorded at Soundstage, Emerald Sound, Omnisound, and Blackbird. Waiting on Georgetown Masters for final product. I've heard the premasters... dang.
 




 
I have to admit Steven Slate is hot, let me know how it works out, OK? (I'm carrying  on the tradition of measuring quality by looks)

I've used it for three sessions and it really seems to work well. It is basically a near flat freq mic that captures the vocal. Then you can try multiple virtual microphone models.  I have to say that the Telefunken 251, and the C12 models really are good.  I already have a U87 and I like it perhaps a bit better than the modeled U67 Neuman Slate has. The C12 Slate sounds better than my actual tube mic that is a MXL that was modified with new electronics, capsule, and NOS tube.

The issue for me at the moment is that I am also getting ready to play full time for a young girl artist. I have a tone of banjo, steel and mando parts to learn.... Recording is on the back burner at the moment...

With a preamp, that's a good deal, I didn't mean to razz you.

I figured if I didn't like it I could sell it for essentially what I paid.  As it turns out, I will keep it.  Razz me? Ha... my feelings are irreparably hurt.   ;)   LOL

Sweet sounding track Steve, perhaps the vocal is a tad outfront? I might pull the lead guitar nearer the centre, it's waay over to the left and quite small sounding against the width of the pedal steel that follows it.
