Dickey Betts wrote this song to try to capture the joy of his daughter Jessica as a toddler crawling, playing and laughing around the living room floor.

[@danielgerald4551]

Not true. Was written about a groupie that Allman knew named Jessica

[@doomhunter697]

@@danielgerald4551 You're the mistaken one. "He named it after his daughter, Jessica Betts, who was an infant when it was released. She had bounced along to the song's rhythm, and Betts attempted to capture her attitude with its melody." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_(instrumental) Along with 6 other sources saying the same. Not one backing your claim.

"Not expecting this from the Allman Brothers", I have been listening to their music for 50 years and this is the Allman Brothers Band.

[@stephenmichael8837]

Exactly correct!

[@wmden1]

My thoughts, also. Stuff this good, sometimes better, is exactly what to expect from The Allman Brothers. On almost all of their recordings, listen as many times as you want, and you can hear something different and great, every time you listen to it. Jessica and Rambling Man, I believe were their first hit, charting, songs and big selling singles.

[@lisarainbow9703]

This is what pure joy sounds like...

[@seanswinton6242]

For me it's this song and their song called "Revival."

[@KevinRCarr]

It's awfully hard to beat The Allman Bros Band when it comes to just plain jamming out and keepin' ya groovin' along with them.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Agreed

[@pamelamarshall471]

This is one of those songs that just make you happy.

[@FTG2Voge]

You cannot be sad when you listen to this song.

[@marel5932]

Song is precious to me. It was my late husband's ringtone on my phone.

[@jimhook9225]

Great reaction guys - most reactors wouldn't take on an instrumental. Keep on doin' what you're doin'. BTW - Allman Bros were one of the greatest jam bands ever.

[@conniekat3424]

This song is the best live jam!

[@cleekmaker00]

Saw them twice ('81, '97), at the greatest Live Concert venue in the World... Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO.

[@John_Chu]

Extra kudos to Dicky Betts on guitar and Chuck Leavell on piano.

[@ekim0513]

What geniuses. This is sweet candy to my ears.

[@SuperMcabral]

This was Allman Brothers at their best. Jessica, Melissa, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Little Martha are instrumentally superb.

[@russellbrown1068]

Revival!

[@njabbfan]

Dickey Betts wrote the song it's named after his Daughter. This man is a master when it came to writing instrumentals. Elizabeth Reed and High Falls are two others that come to other of his great instrumentals.

[@ronwilliams2647]

It's the late Dicky Betts ..he passed away recently.RIP Dicky .Gregg,and Duane Allman

[@charliecochran3035]

Apologies if you've already heard these but In Memory of Elizabeth Reid and Blue Sky are a couple of amazing instrumentals. Actually Blue Sky has a few lyrics but you hardly notice them.

[@xJRx77]

The GREATEST American band. Hands down. They are on a plain all their own

[@yves78]

It’s a vibe. What a most beautiful way to express a name by making it sound like a “festival!” 😊

Top Gear used this for their theme song. It came on the radio yesterday and my wife didn't realize it was an Allman Brothers song.

My favorite instrumental of all time❤

[@roydownes2458]

this band did not fail at instrumentals. at all.

[@bc2198]

Love this song.

[@shelbys6572]

This song was always playing when springtime came riding in our 69 Camaro, midnight blue flip-flop with glass packs. Best feeling

[@woodrowsmith3400]

Truly a wonderfully melodical instrumental by one of the most underrated American bands. There is a video taken from a live performance back in '81 where the band opens with this song, and watching everyone interplay with each other might help you to understand just how much in tune this band was...I believe the show was in Jacksonville. It was an outdoor venue. The Allman Brother's Band was kinda schizophrenic. Their studio recordings were tight, but when (if) you saw them live, they were really a jam band of the highest order...taking a musical theme and stretching it to it's utmost. Both versions of the band were greatly entertaining, and even to this day, the ABB hits my playlist on a regular basis.

[@davidhunter801]

Consider that all these guys were in their early to mid twenties when they recorded this. Chuck Leavell, the piano player and newcomer to the band, was barely 20.

Some Say !!!!!!! 😎👍

[@targetshootr]

I'm sure you've done Whipping Post but Dreams and Elizabeth Reed are brilliant in their own way.

[@garysteinert8040]

Top 5 here. My daughter Melissa would be Jessica if my cousin didn’t get there first.

[@morganlafae1882]

Sweet Melissa is a beautiful Allman Brothers song.

[@jasonbechtol7580]

Definitely! What’s cool is the song isn’t about Melissa. It’s about a man’s undying, resilient love for her. It’s about the unnamed man. Gregg didn’t have a name for the woman for a long time. Then in the middle of the night at a grocery store a mother was chasing around her cute rambunctious daughter, named Melissa.

[@morganlafae1882]

@@jasonbechtol7580 LOL I saw my 1st Allman Brothers concert at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville Tennessee July 1971. Just a few months before Duane died. The Bros. had half their family on stage with them. Come to think of it, wasn't far from where they grew up. Quite a show, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willy. Here's another Nashville fact for ya, who were the first group of singers, leaving out of Nashville, to tour the world spreading their music? Wasn't country music, but gospel. Fisk Jubilee Singers and they sang for Queen Victoria!

[@jeffking887]

A lot of women named Jessica or Melissa that are in their 50’s I suspect

[@morganlafae1882]

@@jeffking887 mid to early forties is more likely. I've got 2 cousins who named their daughters Melissa. Never put it together before but it's probably a G.A. thing

There's a video of them doing this on Letterman, it's always a blast to see them perform live.

[@nedpiper64]

It's my theory that this song is the reason so many girls born in the late '70's were named Jessica. It's where I got my daughter's name.

You won't hear Jessica in the song. Dickey played the riff to try to explain her smile when she crawled into the room where he was playing guitar.

[@rifki9055]

No vocals. Still rocking down with Duane and Greg 🙏😢

[@USMILNET]

Great Georgia band who never forgot their roots.

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

Well, they're from Jacksonville, Fl.

[@jasonbechtol7580]

Actually, the first members first met in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. That’s where the original roots of the band formed. Duane then followed Berry Oakley down to Jacksonville, FL trying to convince him to join. That’s when he met Dickey and Butch, who were in a band with Berry. They set up at Butch’s house in Jacksonville. Then went to Macon bc of Capricorn Studios hq there. So, to me, they kind of embody the South and are just from “the South”.

[@morganlafae1882]

Both Duane and Gregory were born and raised in Nashville Tennessee.

The Allman Brothers are known for their Southern Blues style rock like "Whipping Post," "Come and Go Blues," and "Stormy Monday." However, they also had some Country Rock songs like "Jessica," "Rambling Man," and "Blue Sky."

Great reaction!

[@steveschoenwiesner1916]

I’m not quite clear what is meant by “I wasn’t expecting this from the Allman Brothers”. Was it the instrumental form of the song? The prominence of Chuck Leavell’s rollicking energetic piano in the song? I’m gonna guess that it might actually have been the song’s tremendously upbeat, joyous feel, as the ABB was well known for their blues-driven origins and intense early songs. In light of their history, Jessica is what I would call “unblues”. They never lost their blues influence, but Dickie Betts brought a whole new dimension to their music with this and other songs after the shattering loss of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley.
