REALLYMUSICRADIO presents
Jessi Alexander
Although she was born near the blues capitol of the world and packed up her battered but beloved 1976 Guild guitar and moved to the country music capitol, Jessi Alexander's musical mind runs past the state and many other borders. Thus is the reason she mentions Son House, The Band and Patsy Cline in a single sentence.
"Growing up, I had such a wide range of influences," she says. "I remember thinking that Linda Rondstadt was country. So was Ralph Stanley and Earl Scruggs and Dolly Parton. I didn't have the same kind of boundaries you see in music today."
Jessi grew up in west Tennessee, spending summers with her father in Memphis after her parents divorced when she was just a preschooler. She remembers walking along Beale Street before it was sanitized for tourists, stumbling over winos, seeing fights, and just taking in the scene and the music. Like many musicians, Jessi remembers the Christmas as a child that an acoustic guitar appeared under the tree.
"I think more than anything, this is the first chapter of a long history. I think success would be to know the songs have touched someone because they've been living in me for so long. Some are four, even six years old. To know the transfer has happened - that I've written songs and someone has heard them. That's success."
