Tracklisting

Jessie [4:36]

Biog

When I was planning my debut album, my co-producer Paul Johnston said I should put a cover version on it, so that when people search for the song title, my version would show up, and curious people might listen and then find my album. I had been playing with a few songs, and Jessie has been something I wanted to record for a long time. The original by Joshua Kadison (who wrote the song) is a laid back piano song, reminiscent of an Elton John ballad. I wanted to give it a Country feel, so upped the tempo slightly, added drums, twangy guitar, and a pedal steel, played very competently by DB Smith.
