The Story Behind The Song, BY MY SIDE, by Roger “Hurricane” Wilson

I wanted to share this story with you about the song, BY MY SIDE, a Blues – Rock tune that I wrote back in 1978 when I was compiling material for a very first album. That project is really not worth mentioning, but this song has outlived all meager expectations.

It was recently the Number One Rock Song on the AirPlayDirect.com Monthly Chart for March of 2021 and stayed there for most of April.This gave the song substantial airplay in many U.S. markets, plus over a dozen other countries. It had also been released on my Low Overhead Band cassette tape in 1990, along with another version on my 2004 CD, THE OHIO CONNECTION. The most recent release was on the 2021 Bluestorm Records CD, LIVE AT THE TIME OUT PUB – ROCKLAND, MAINE.

My running onstage joke is usually saying that I never get my money’s worth of my songs unless I record and release them several times. That may be the explanation, but the real truth is that this song is always fun to play, especially with an energetic and live audience. Such is the case for this live version on the latest CD, LIVE AT THE TIME OUT PUB.

This set was recorded in July of 2010, but with the 2020 pandemic affecting everyone everywhere, I thought it would be some great suitable energy to share with everyone everywhere. We had a lot of fun that night.
