I like it Teego - and great guitar licks throughout. 
I agree with the previous comments about the drums - you could get away using a brushes kit.

Wow, what a cool Americana tune.  Well done. I have been contemplating getting back to a more organic style of music here over the past few months.... I enjoyed that song.
 
I think there's a "Charlie" in every town. We had an old fellow around here who lived in the woods around the other side of this "country block" that I live on. He had a rundown patched together old single wide trailer with a plywood add on. After his mother died, I think he had lost his license due to drinking and driving because I didn't see him in his beatup old pickup truck any more. I would see him riding his old one speed bike with a basket on the front around the area. One night, while riding on a dark country road, he was hit by a lady in an SUV who didn't see him. He often wore dark clothes and more than one time I passed him on those roads at night and didn't see him clearly until I was fairly close. If the lady had kids in the car and was distracted, I can understand why she didn't see him. Every now and then, when I pass that point in the road, I think about him.

Thanks  Daryl,Rebel and Herb for the comments. The consensus is the drums are a little much but ,man,I had so much fun tweaking them to sound like that. I am going to try Session Drummer's brush kit on it and see what I can come up with. Thank you all for listening and commenting.

Nice tune, and your voice suits it so well.   Very authentic.
 
Other than the sound of the drums - already covered - I think the mix works pretty well.

Other than the drums, this is a terrific song and performance.  You've got the voice for this, and it sounds like you play to your strengths.  I'm very impressed with your songwriting skills, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

I play everything on it ,the drums are Addictive Drums. I am not sure what you mean by doro,if you mean dobro there is not one in it. Thanks for listening and commenting, it is just a little tune that I will never do nothing with probably but you never know!

Monty,  I'm not into Country, meaning I can't sing in the style; but, I gotta say you are one talented dude!  How is Soundclick in terms of getting decent feedback from people in the business.  I noted in the "charts" that Charlie was in the 27 spot and had hit the number 4 spot.   What does that mean ... if I may be so bold as to ask?

Thank you sir ! I have just started using Soundclick so I can't really say how the charts work yet. I know they can move up and down quite a bit from one day to the next, it is calculated by unique plays meaning plays from diffent locations etc. In other words someone can't sit there and play a song over and over and have it counted as plays , it only counts one play in that situation. Also I think it was 27 in the overall Country chart and 4 in a subgenre such as Americana chart
