I know Bo professionally from the electrical industry, he’s an awesome guy! Thank you so much RadioWV and Draven Riffe for doing this. Would LOVE to see more.
This makes my heart smile 🥰 I love Appalachian music whether it be folk, bluegrass, mountain, i don't care. Growing up i used to go out to work in the pasture and every which way you turned you could hear folks playing and singing and i loved nothing more than talking a break and just choosing which direction i wanted to listen. This feller brings back some very happy memories for me.
Mr. Danny Bo Smith is one heck of a musician storyteller and a genuine soul. This episode is one of my favorites because it’s not just one song that’s a quick glance in to how somebody feels or what they went through. I love this channel and respect every artist their stories and music but this was 16 mins and 35 seconds of someone’s daily life that I felt I wholeheartedly connected with. I loved hearing his songs/singing, information bout his family history and how strong his faith is. You don’t need billions or materialistic things to be happy as long as you have a guitar (or any instrument or your voice) love in your heart a place to lay your head when your tired and faith in your soul your rich to me. This man needs to be featured on Grand Ole Opry. Hope to hear him play live or see and talk to him sometime when I’m down in WVA. My little slice of heaven. Peace out and stay blessed.
How do I find more of this mans music he is amazing , love this UA-cam channel thank you for all these legends , would really like to hear more from Danny bo smith
Folk, spirituals, blues, were the original stories. They capture a place in time, a feeling, protests, movements, injustice, the only way of spreading news. Thank you for maintaining this tradition.
i’m so glad to have found this channel! bo is an absolute treasure, true talent! thank you to him for sharing his story and music with us and thank y’all for finding him and putting this out there. we need more bo in the world. God bless
Wish we could all live the way you do and enjoy music the way you do it means a lot in this world today very few people understand the world the way that you do
Ol' Bo reminds me of another Appalachian singer/songwriter out of McDowell County WV by the name of Alan 'Cathead' Johnston, who I ran across on social media about 12-15 years ago and we drifted away from contact/communications a few years after and ever since. Both Bo and Alan have that same style and produce some great genuine 'old school' music. Alan's whole family were great talents, including his daughter Stacy Grubb, whose singing and talent will knock you socks off.
This is what real America is love and faith this gentleman is one of a kind and a beautiful soul he touched my heart and as a West Virginian I feel deeply connected with him my nana used to sing songs and this man is something special I hope to meet him one day and have a long conversation with him about life he has such a positive outlook on everything and I could find a life long friendship with him he is the heart and soul of what our country stood for god bless you brother and I pray god makes you famous
I was born not too far from this amazing man in a little place called cabin creek WV. Most people dont know how truly amazing us hillbillies really are until you hear or see it. Please do more on BO, such an amazing singer.
Please bring us more of Bo. Tell him he brightened my day and warmed my heart. It’s the yodeling for me! Reminds me of Gene Autry. I’m dating my self. The world needs more people like you.
Bo, thank you for touching my soul today Sir. LOL, when I heard you start to sing "I had a booger on my finger", and I lost it. Thank you for making me smile. I needed that more than you know.
Appalachia culture is a beautiful expression of the Scots-Irish, with smatterings of English, German and French Huguenot blood. Thank you for being such a unique culture within the United States. You should be protected and certified as an actual "people group"
I’m back in September 2024. I can’t tell you how many times I come back and listen and watch this video . He is such a gem! Thank Goodness you caught him on video. I feel like we are slowly losing how all the old timers talked and lived
It's a shame you can only like this video once. I have been back to this one at least 50 times. I recommend it to everyone, and show it to everyone that has the time to watch it. And when I just need a smile I come back to this video. Just something special about this man. Thank you sir, just for being you. Much love from over the hills in Virginia. ❤
I was led to this channel because of the Benny show, and I am so thankful for that. I'm going through your entire catalog this weekend. Outstanding stuff.
I’d buy these lives songs if they were cut down into songs! I can’t find them anywhere and I can recite this video word for word now since I cannot fast forward while on the road! I love his story so much!
Mr Bo you brought such a big smile to my face. Thank you for sharing your gift. It's a pure joy to hear & watch. It reminded me of singing with my parents to Hank Sr when I was a child ❤
What an awesome channel, I'm so blessed to have found it. 🙏 please continue this wonderful work and get these treasures out there❤ this is what it's all about . Gives me such a good feeling... this is my America, those are my ppl❤. I've always been a country girl at ❤ love this simple life and I love this honest raw talent. Past couple weeks. I've been binge ¹watching videos and feeling so good. And just feel like the lord is working through putting us all together ❤
There is a rugged innocence the people born and raised in these hollers. I love them all. They carry their European roots into a uniquely wonderful part of Americana.
I read this comment right as he sang it and it just sorta smacked me in the face that despite being pretty imobile having a family a home im pretty rootless i feel im just floating along on dead air waiting to drop
This gentleman brought a tear to my eye all because of the jealousy I have that he has found happiness in life and all from the simple things. May God bless this man, and they many learn his ways, and never let his history and the way he lives die.
I’m just over on the Boone/Logan line and-- Danny Bo! You remind me so much of my grandfather, we sadly lost 2 Novembers ago. Looks,hair,style, mentality,, turtle shell collecting! literally EVERYTHING! Saw this when it first aired 7m ago but was unable to comment at the time but was so happy to rediscover! Much Love
Bo you are such a ray of sun shine. You are a real man and makes me think of my grandparents. Good southern Christians have hearts of pure gold. Love ya man
West virginia is definitely on the map now . theres so much talent coming out of WV . i really like this channel . showing real folks doing what they seem to really love doing makin beautiful country music. Authentic all around Stay well fellow humans and thanks for the video fellas✌😁🤟
I grew up in the country and married, moved from city to city from the Rockies to the East for many years. I trust my “hillbilly” countrymen from north to south and west to east FAR more than any from the cities!! They sense my roots and I highly respect their abilities. If the world does crash, we will be able to depend on our abilities learned at our parents’ sides. Maybe theb, our children will finally listen!
I thought I was so original last year when I recorded sounds from nature and added them to parts of my studio recordings I was working... now everything has got nature sounds lol God bless the sounds of nature, city boys need that stuff...
Fricken Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is One Cool Old Man !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (from one old man to another) I Sure Hope We See MORE Of Him !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Radio WV, Thanks SO Much !!!!!!!!!!!
This is what country music used to be!! I traveled the State of Florida as an 18-year- old, helping set up for grass roots, country music concerts! I loved it!!! Music in the fields with people who brought their own chairs!! Country music is crap these days!!
Some have to have it all and still aren't happy. Some are just happy with the little things in life like this right here.I will take the little things in life all day long and twice on Sunday!!
I absolutely love this man's genuine sound. And what a honor it would be to have a friend like him! RadioWV make him the opening act for Oliver Anthony!
The wrong people are famous for the wrong reasons. This is a treasure. Pure Gold.
Amen
❤
amen to that!
You’ve got that right!
Yep
Man he was such a pleasure to listen to. In song and story . I fear we won't have story tellers like him much longer . Thank you ❤
You might be right. The youngins today barely even talk to each other.
You are welcome, thank you!
@@radiowvthankYOU
How can we listen to more of Danny
I know Bo professionally from the electrical industry, he’s an awesome guy! Thank you so much RadioWV and Draven Riffe for doing this. Would LOVE to see more.
Ask him where his music is
I've never wanted to meet a person so badly in my life. This is a treasure.
Me too
Haha fr. I was just thinking man I wish I was there! Find his habitat so facilitating! I'm from Cali😒

I was blessed to grow up enjoying Bo picking and singing with my dad and cousins at my house up Winifrede Holler ❤
Awesome voice. Great personality too. Oh, and cant forget that beard!
"onbe thing about life never lose your ambitions in life always see some footsteps in front of ya, where ya can put your feet" what an awesome quote

I could watch videos of Bo all day! This is amazing. Thank you radiowv
I was raised in Louisiana and now I'm in Kentucky... folks like Bo are the true backbone of this country and should be appreciated.
Must be something in the Appalachian water that breeds such talent; beautiful people, beautiful sounds. Blessings on ya'll.

Just found your page.. is this the only video with him on it. He’s freakin GREAT!!!! I could listen to him all day.
That line from his song "where are you on the tree of life, are you a branch or a leaf in flight" is pretty profound. It IS hard to hang on some days.
I agree completely
I read this comment right as he sang it and it just sorta smacked me in the face that despite being pretty imobile having a family a home im pretty rootless i feel im just floating along on dead air waiting to drop
Glad i came across this channel man so many get people ur truly blessed with them being around
This gentleman brought a tear to my eye all because of the jealousy I have that he has found happiness in life and all from the simple things. May God bless this man, and they many learn his ways, and never let his history and the way he lives die.
