ReverbNation Crowd Review
"Washed Away My Pain" has a great country sound. The tune is really nice and the musicians sound good. I like the singer very much. His voice has a bit of grit in it, which gives it a more country sound. What I especially like are the lyrics. I like the message of the song. It is God-focused and tells the truth of his forgiveness. Washed Away My Pain is a great song"

Bio
Bo Smith is an American Singer/Songwriter from Choudrant, Louisiana. He spent 15 years as a professional, offshore and overseas, in the oilfield and decided to relocate to Austin, Texas from Louisiana in 2003. During his time in Austin, he obtained a degree in Audio Engineering and Music Production and worked with some of Austin’s popular musicians in the production of their music, until he decided it was time to give his own music a shot.
He teamed up with fellow singer/ songwriter and producer, Monty Russell of Ruston, Louisiana, and recorded his latest project Flowers Are Gone. The album was recorded at James Cook’s “Studio On The Ridge” in Pegram, TN. James Cook is known for his master skills as an audio engineer and producer as well as his role as Luke Bryan’s bass player. James recruited his fellow musicians, Luke Bryan’s band mates, Kent Sulcher (drums), Dave Ristrim (Steel Guitar), and Dan Cohen (lead Guitar), for the album production. Dave (P-Mo) Moore of Ruston, Louisiana ripped it up on Harmonica. It was an honor to record with some of the greatest musicians in the business.
The album, Flowers Are Gone, features it’s hit title track that takes country music to the edge, with haunting swells and psychedelic tones. Also included on the album, is a duet with Bo and co-writer, Bethany Raybourn, called “Dance Again”, a heartfelt song about the life of close friends of the family, Joe and Peggy Wilson; which was written after Bo spent time with Mrs. Peggy talking about the times she and her late husband had spent, in their younger years, dancing and enjoying their life together. The duet, “Flatwoods Road”, on the album, was performed by Bo and co-writer Rich Holloway. “Flatwoods Road” is about the Holloway Farm in Mississippi that has been in Rich’s family for hundreds of years, where he still resides today. Popular covers included on the album are, “Josie”, from Kris Kristofferson’s album, Border Lord, and “Clyde Played Electric Bass” from JJ Cale.
A lot of love and dedication went into this album and the hard work is paying off.
