Hi,
Threw this together as I decided to scrap a previous tune I was working on, and I thought it came out quite nice.  Real simple acoustic guitar with harmonies.  If anyone digs, would love to hear from you....

Nice one Lee..
I think you need to eq the voc and guitar so they have their own frequencies.

Yep... the vox track is hard to hear clearly, especially the lead.
 
I'd double (record it twice) the acoustic and pan them out at least 50% to get a wider stereo stage.... everything is currently up the middle.
 
EQ the vox to be brighter, cut the low end to let it set there on it's own.... brighten the BGV with some EQ as well and place the BGV a bit off center so it has room in the mix. I like to use automation panning when the lead vox, which is normally centered, has a BGV sing along, I will use the automated pan to move the lead just a bit off center opposite the BGV singer. I move it about 10% to 15% ...just enough to balance the singers and so they don't sound like they are both in the center.
 
I'd do the EQ/cut lows, brighten the guitar too.
 
That said, I like the song.

Lee, I like this song as much as any of yours, but before I hit play, I knew what was coming.  I'd like to hear a curveball from you on occasion.  Still, it's good music.

thanks for the tips gentlemen, duly noted.  And thanks for taking the time to listen. 
 
@Lynn...agreed.  BUT..you may be surprised by a few of the tracks that are forthcoming, I've posted just a small portion.
