Jessica

Let the good times roll with The Allman Brothers Band's iconic 1973 instrumental rock anthem, "Jessica"! This joyful track from Brothers and Sisters soars with unforgettable guitar and piano melodies, blending Southern and country rock into the ultimate feel-good cruisin' classic.

Featured on their chart-topping 1973 album Brothers and Sisters and released as a successful single, "Jessica" became one of the band's most beloved instrumentals. Penned by guitarist Dickey Betts, its sunny disposition and infectious blend of Southern rock and country rock made it perfect driving music.

This Grammy-winning instrumental rock masterpiece showcases the incredible musicianship of The Allman Brothers Band. Featuring intricate interplay between Dickey Betts' guitar and Chuck Leavell's piano over a buoyant rhythm, "Jessica" remains a timeless, uplifting Southern rock standard and essential cruisin' classic from 1973.

SONG MEANING: As an instrumental piece, "Jessica" conveys its meaning through music rather than lyrics. Written by guitarist Dickey Betts, it was inspired by the joyful feeling of watching his infant daughter, Jessica, crawl. He also aimed to capture the melodic style of guitarist Django Reinhardt, resulting in an uplifting, flowing, and optimistic sound.
