"I penned this song while I was traveling nationally with the Marksmen Quartet in the mid 1980s reflecting the place one is when they find Jesus for the first time, and how it changes how you look at the world. The Marksmen recorded it and it became a turntable hit for them off the album. It was such a blessing. In this version I pay homage to one of my bluegrass heroes and friends - Ralph Stanley with this arrangement." Randall Franks

Tunes and Tales from Tunnel Hill is a collection of music and comedic stories which Franks recorded to reflect the influence that traditional artists such as Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, The Dillards, Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, Roy Acuff, and Jim and Jesse had on him musically and the story telling of Jerry Clower, Minnie Pearl, and Doodle Thrower had on him comedically.

Appalachian Ambassador of the Fiddle and International Bluegrass Music Museum Legend Randall Franks, member of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys and the Jim & Jesse Show, performs a song recorded by The Marksmen Quartet in 1985. Franks's performance was inspired by Ralph Stanley.

The CD "Tunes & Tales from Tunnel Hill" was among the top 25 Bluegrass CDs of its release year in the United States.
