Jamboree With the chart success of his 1990 solo release "Handshakes and Smiles," Franks formed his Hollywood Hillbilly Jamboree featuring his unique style of Appalachian bluegrass, gospel and traditional country. Using his Hollywood friendships, he brought Donna Douglas of "The Beverly Hillbillies", Sonny Shroyer of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and Dan Biggers of "In the Heat of the Night" into a live and a commercial performance package while calling upon many of his music friends to add to the long musical legacy of the show originally created by Ramblin' "Doc" Tommy Scott in 1945. The historical Jamboree included stars spanning from Uncle Dave Macon, Stringbean Akeman, Carolina Cotton, Johnny Mack Brown, Ray Whitley, Sunset Carson, Fuzzy St. John, to Tim McCoy and others. As of 2022, in its 77th year, the show allowed him to expand his performances into the fair market and larger country music shows including its largest audience of over 30,000 at one South Carolina Show in 1999. Over the last three decades has included: The Sand Mountain Boys, Ryan Robertson, Barney Miller, Roger Hammett, James Watson, Bill Everett, Gilbert Hancock, Sue and Kim Koskela, Danny Bell, David Davis and the Warrior River Boys, Gary Waldrep, The Dowden Sisters, Ryan Stinson, the Watkins Family, Wesley Crider, Jaden Maxwell, Colton Brown, Caleb Lewis, Dawson Wright and others. In an industry of established stars, Franks and Alison Krauss became the most visible fiddling personalities in the late eighties and early nineties.
