Ben Musser "Falling by the Wayside"

Sounds from USA

18/02/2026 |

Ben Musser's "Falling by the Wayside" is a propulsive, pissed-off blues-rocker that channels the spirit of 70s guitar heroes like Eric Clapton and Duane Allman while delivering a sharply contemporary message. Clocking in at 3'41'', the track surges forward on Wurlitzer keys and playful slide guitar arrangements, anchored by Grammy-winning drummer Scott Mathews' dynamic performance—sparse alt-rock toms in the verses exploding into full-on ride-cymbal rock in the choruses. The result is a quintessential bluesy track that feels both timeless and urgent, wrapping theatrical, moody interpretation in a Pop Rock/Americana package that is as sonically satisfying as it is lyrically provocative.

Lyrically, Musser sounds an alarm about American apathy, directing his exasperation at platformed influencers who prioritize self-promotion over civic engagement. "Staring at your screens / Being tracked by the man / C'mon stand up and fight," he sings, urging listeners to recognize how privileges once taken for granted are slipping away. The accompanying video—shot at his Jackson Hole, Wyoming homestead and featuring multiple versions of Musser decked in varied "Western wear"—visually reinforces the song's DIY ethos and one-man-band mastery. As the lead single from Sentimental Fever (out May 1 via Blackbird Record Label), "Falling by the Wayside" announces Ben Musser not just as a formidable multi-instrumentalist, but as a songwriter unafraid to blend personal reflection with pointed social commentary.
