Nice treatment of a favorite classic!

Re comments on the guitar/steel relationship, the steel sounds real hot in the 2-3.5K range where the Tele gets its bite and sparkle (and also the critical range for vocal intelligibility). So there's a crowded house in the high mids. Might be worth a try to dip the steel a bit up there and find a sweet spot in the lower mids (might be some richness around 500-1K). If you feel you lose too much brightness, you can get it from a little peak at the 4-5K range without garbling the Tele and vocal.

Once you get the high mids sorted out on the instruments, you can bring the vocal level down without losing the lyrics. Your tracks are solid, so it's just a matter of massaging them now. Good piece of work, keep swinging the hammer!
