Jessica is the cornerstone song of any road trip/driving playlist.

Of course it could have a lot to do with what I was watching at the time I first heard this little ditty.

Critical reception[edit]
Initial reviews of the song in 1973 were very positive. Bud Scoppa of Rolling Stone wrote, "To my ears, this is the most effective instrumental the Allmans have ever recorded: It breaks the band's recent tendency toward humorlessness while demonstrating vividly that this group can elaborate brilliantly on a motif without once falling into obvious blues or rock & roll patterns."[10] Billboard singled it out as one of the "best cuts" from the album,[11] and it was mentioned as a highlight by Janis Schacht of Circus. "The jazzy sound is not only effective, it's aesthetically beautiful. Chuck Leavell's piano work is much on a par with Nicky Hopkins' work for the Rolling Stones. It moves, it boogies, it carries the piece along with incredible style and is met halfway by Dickie Betts' clean, sweeping guitar lead."[12]

It has continued to receive praise in recent years. A January 2006 Wall Street Journal article referred to the piece as "a true national heirloom."[13]

The two instrumentals that readily come to mind:
Villanova Junction: Hendrix
Samba Pa Ti: Santana

Little wing covered by SRV, I even prefer it over Hendrix' version.
