I've been sitting on this one for like, two years. Snowed in today, so I gave it a visit. I continue to have difficulty producing my own songs (and my wife's vocals) but I think this one came out alright.

 
Overall, levels and separation are great. The hard-panned rhythm guitars with the not-super-wide drums sounds kind of odd: perhaps widen the overheads and bring the guitars in a little bit?

As a whole, I feel like it lacks energy: it sounds a bit "safe"/soft, especially for a somewhat upbeat sort of song. I think the song would be better served if re-tracked with some more energy, or "balls" as I like to call it! Think of the scene in the Blues Brothers where everyone's throwing bottles at the band playing behind chicken wire: that's where I see this song being played! Haha
 
The production has an early 70's type vibe to it, sorta Budgie-like. Drums sound good to me. I'd like more compression on the vocals. I can dig this, it's pretty cool
