"That's Just Jessie" is the debut single by American country music artist Kevin Denney. Penned by Denney, Kerry Kurt Phillips, and Patrick Jason Matthews, and produced by Leigh Reynolds,[2] it was released on December 10, 2001, as the lead single to his self-titled debut studio album (2002).
"That's Just Jessie" is written in the key of E major with a main chord pattern of Asus-Asus4-Bsus-B on the verses.[3] Co-writer Kerry Kurt Phillips had the song's title and overall idea for many years, but was unable to complete it until meeting with Patrick Jason Matthews and Kevin Denney. It was Matthews' first cut as a songwriter to be released as a single.[3]
Critical reception
The Lakeland Ledger negatively described the song as "a bit sappy and cute."[4] Country Standard Time's Jeffrey B. Remz called it one of the most "mainstream-sounding" songs off of his debut album.[5]
