"Just Don't Make ‘Em (Remix)", is a new and completely different version of a popular tune off of Wood & Wire's GRAMMY Nominated Album "North of Despair". About a year before we began tracking for the record, we recorded this slower version of the tune with banjo great Danny Barnes producing (which ended up being a stepping stone to him producing our project, "woodshed sessions, vol ii."). He took it back home with him and remixed it using some beats and samples in a style he's become known for and cleverly calls "barnyard electronics". Danny is fearless in his approach to creativity. We've always admired that about him. In working with him, we found an inspirational kindred spirit of sorts that tends to leave us thinking, "hey why didn't we think of that?". In the spirit of that fearlessness and fun, we wanted to share something different with our fans and show them something totally out of the box. The tune is an ode to Tony's grandfather and his friends, and a piece of property in Llano, TX that Tony, his father, and his brothers learned to maintain and work on under the guidance of stubborn old men.
