Jessie's songs seem to be incantations leading us into collective memories of the feminine archetypes of wise woman, maiden and child. At times the older woman sings to the younger or they merge creating an atmosphere of dreams and visions. Her voice ranges from the steely country girl to Celtic woman of the highlands, with a mastery and ease of guitar playing. Throughout her lyrics, we are invited to rivers, trees, flowers, and rocks, sometimes by walking, and often by flying. One might hear the influence of jazz and blues in Jessie's songs, while others might find an operatic folk tradition from an ancient Italian village, transporting you to another time.
