By Ear. This song is important to me for two reasons. One, when I first bought my own personal stereo when I was 13 years old, this was the first song I played on it in Hi-Fi. It made me fall in love with music. Second, the bonus track with Chuck Leavell banging the keys is what started my love for the piano. Eddie Harsch records with the Crowes then later on the Amorica album, and he's influenced me just as much. These dudes wrote the book on rock piano. Note: The paper on the music stand simply has the lyrics for the song to give me an outline. Over some of the words, I wrote down a few notes with their alphabetic symbols to help. It appears to be in the key of E with 4 sharps, but D# is hardly ever played, if at all. I would say A, but probably not. The D natural is used as a type of color tone or blue note... as is G natural on occasion.

GOV'T MULE in 2001 at the Voodoo Fest in New Orleans performing "SOULSHINE" with a great piano intro by Chuck Leavell, Oteil Burbridge from the Allmans on Bass and of coarse the awesome Matt Abts on Drums. I was so very lucky to be there for this on that cold night with by buds Eddie and Danny. Enjoy!

The 2009 ASE Song of the Year was written by Franks and is a prequel to Charlie Daniels's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." It tells the story of the fiddle that Johnny played in his contest with the Devil. Airing live on Georgia Public Broadcasting statewide, The Friends of Georgia Music Festival, Inc. hosted the event at the Georgia World Congress Center. Franks, an award-winning fiddler and singer, said he was honored to represent the Appalachian and Bluegrass music styles on the show. "This program was such a wonderful combination of musical genres sharing the rich musical fabric that puts Georgia in everyone's mind," Franks said. "All of the artists were so supportive of what we were doing, when the audience came to their feet including so many of the inductees, it reinforced for me how God places you in opportunities to share the talents He gave you for His glory." Among the audience was other feature performers including Collective Soul, Third Day, Bryan-Michael Cox, Chuck Leavell, Monica Pearson with Cheryl Rogers and 2007 Scholarship Winner Reginald Smith.
