eventually used as a band name for a heavy metal group out of Charleston, WV.
Meaning: A journey (or ride) characterized by the irresponsibility of the hillbilly lifestyle, ending in death.
The band 'Hillbilly Deathride' played hundreds of shows between 2004 and 2007, developing a substantial following in southern WV and
eventually recording an as yet unreleased album, but appearing occasionally at special events.

inebriated to intimate crowds long past closing time.
