Dylan "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" cover

Generally, I've not been a big fan of Dylan's Nashville Skyline LP (or of country music generally) but I've been thinking that this song has potential as a more bluesy, upbeat tune. So I gave it a go:

This is a pretty rough cut in terms of having a limited number of takes and very little in terms of post-recording processing: there's some EQ and compression on the bass, acoustic guitar, and vocal tracks and that's it. The only other "effect" is a volume pedal on the guitar track that's panned left. You'll hear the volume-pedal effect on that track in the bridge and the instrumental break.

I may beef up the mix a bit with more post-processing but I wanted to get some comments first.

Instruments: Gretsch Tennessean (panned left), Custom Hamburguitar (slide; panned right), Seagull Artist Portrait Acoustic (2 tracks, one fairly low in the mix); Rick 4001 bass.

Drums: Superior Drummer 2, Custom & Vintage add-on.

Constructive criticism welcome! Thanks in advance.
