Trivia/Info

  • From the back of Why Does The Sun Shine? (EP): "Originally recorded by The Allman Brothers Band, Jessica is off the group's Brothers and Sisters album from 1973. Recorded after the tragic death of band founder Duane Allman, it retains the vibrant beauty and know-how that made them legends of Southern rock."
  • According to Brian Doherty, Dickey Betts (the song's original writer) heard, and liked, their cover of the song.[1] The band reached out to him to play guitar on the track, but this plan was abandoned after Betts' arrest that August on alcohol and domestic violence related charges.[2]
