It sounds pretty good but a bit dead from a mixing standpoint. This is what I hear....

The mandolin sound nice as is but I would separate it more in the stereo field (pan it left) and maybe cut the lows a bit.

The vocal sounds good but lacks a bit of sparkle in the high end. It also could be a little louder in the mix.

The bass could be more prominent but I would EQ the vocal frequencies down and bump the bass frequencies around 50 - 150.

The guitar is not bad but is a bit muddy. Bring it forward for the solo with more volume. EQ the lows down a bit and the highs up.

I know bluegrassers like to stand around one mic (!) but I would take advantage of the stereo field and spread the instruments out a bit so each one stands out. Make the solos and fills soar and lower the strumming a bit to keep it from being muddy.

Hope that helps. Most of the changes I mentioned would be subtle.
