WVRockscene: Hillbilly Proud does us all proud

Hillbilly Proud does us all proud

There is no shortage of bad news or stereotypes when it comes to West Virginia. We here at WVRockscene try not to fall into either category, and are always glad when someone does something super neato to promote the best part(s) of our fair state; the people and the places.

Hillbilly Proud just put together a nice little video of Jeff Ellis' bluegrass ode to the Mountain State, West Virginia Hills, and you can see it on their MySpace profile. It's a great song off a great CD, and we're glad to see 'em do this. Combined with their "Tired and Leaving West Virginia" blog, Hillbilly Proud has made us all proud.

Check out the video here, and by all means check out Ellis and Hillbilly Proud's sites.
