If someone from Glasgow calls you a Big Jessie it is not particularly complimentary. It tends to suggest that you are a bit of a wuss.
These insults cannot be levelled as the artists below.
Jesse Malin is a streetwise New Yorker and no one would suggest that the Queen of the Underground is a big Jessie.
Jesse Sykes with her band the Sweet Hereafter deliver their songs in a sparse, dark Gothic sort of a way so they can hold their own.
Jesse Winchester may sing in a gentle Country sort of a way but he is nobody's fool. He has his eye on a Yankee Lady.
Jesse Ware is a Nu Soul star who shows Devotion to her art.
We may well be featuring our first Oscar winner in the shape of Jessie Buckley. She was certainly no Jessie when she played the part of Rose-Lynn Harlan in the film Wild Rose particularly when belting out Primal Scream's Country Girl.
No Wusses here.
Jesse Malin - Queen Of The Underground
Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter -The Dreaming Dead
No Jesse Rae, Scotland's leading Jesse?
