Hailing from Meadow Bridge, West Virginia, with formative years spent in Winder, Georgia, Brian Mullins brings lived experience to the forefront with “Hills of West Virginia,” a slow-burning, nostalgic country ballad rooted in memory and place.
Written after returning home permanently following 30 years away, the song captures the emotional complexity of revisiting the place that shaped you, only to find it changed. Mullins doesn’t romanticize the moment blindly. Instead, he balances sadness and gratitude, honoring both the loss of what once was and the warmth of what remains.
“Hills of West Virginia” feels timeless. Brian’s approach blends classic country sensibility with a modern emotional awareness, allowing the song to resonate across generations. His vocals carry sincerity, making each line feel like a conversation rather than a performance. This is a song for anyone who has ever gone back home and felt both comforted and displaced. With “Hills of West Virginia,” Brian Mullins doesn’t just tell a story he preserves a feeling, one that lingers long after the song ends.
