Chanteuse Country US née Miriam Johnson, le 25
Mai 1943 à Phoenix (Arizona).
Jessi Colter a été marié avec Duane Eddy
et Waylon Jennings.
Perhaps best known in conjunction
with her husband Waylon Jennings,
Jessi Colter was the only significant female singer/songwriter to emerge from
the mid-'70s "outlaw" movement. Born Miriam Johnson on May 25, 1943, in Phoenix,
AZ, Colter in fact affiliated herself with outlaw imagery long before the
musical movement blossomed, adopting her stage name in honor of ancestor Jess
Colter, a real-life train robber and counterfeiter who rode with Frank and Jesse
James.
Raised in a strict Pentecostal home, Colter was just a teenager when she left
Phoenix to tour as a vocalist with twang-guitar innovator Duane Eddy,
whom she met through her sister Sharon, the wife of producer
"Cowboy" Jack Clement. In 1962, she and
Eddy married, and after several years of extensive touring
(mostly throughout Europe), the couple settled in Los Angeles
in 1966. Under the name Miriam Eddy, she wrote songs for
Don Gibson,
Dottie West, and Nancy Sinatra.
In 1968, she and
Eddy divorced, and Colter returned to Phoenix. There she
met Waylon Jennings,
who was so taken with her voice that he invited her to record a duo with him.
After helping secure Colter a record deal with his label, RCA,
Jennings co-produced the tracks that would make up her 1970 debut, A Country
Star Is Born; by the time of the record's release, the couple had already
married. Under the name Waylon and Jessi, they also issued two Top 40 singles, a
1970 cover of the
Elvis Presley hit "Suspicious Minds" and 1971's "Under Your Spell Again."
Colter's commercial breakthrough came in 1975 when her composition "I'm Not
Lisa," a single from the LP I'm Jessi Colter, hit number one on Billboard's
country charts while also making the Top Five on the pop charts; the album
spawned another hit in "What's Happened to Blue Eyes." In 1976, she released two
more highly successful albums, Jessi and Diamonds in the Rough.
Also in 1976, Colter teamed with
Jennings,
Willie Nelson, and
Tompall Glaser for the album Wanted! The Outlaws, which at the time of its
release was the biggest-selling album in country history, and the first country
album certified platinum in sales. In between spending much of the remainder of
the decade on tour with her husband and
Nelson, she also released the albums Miriam in 1977 and That's the Way the
Cowboy Rocks and Rolls in 1978.
Colter and
Jennings reteamed in 1981 for Leather and Lace, an album of duos featuring
the hits "Storms Never Last" and the medley "Wild Side of Life/It Wasn't God Who
Made Honky Tonk Angels." In the same year, she released the solo album Ridin'
Shotgun, which produced her final chart hit in 1982's "Holdin' On." As the 1980s
progressed, Colter's success tapered off; 1985's Rock and Roll Lullaby, produced
by Chips Moman, was released only on a small label. By the early '90s, she began
directing her energies toward performing children's music, and starred in the
home video Jessi Colter Sings Songs from Around the World Just for Kids, which
featured a guest appearance by
Jennings, who recited some of his poetry. Capitol released the An Outlaw...a
Lady: The Very Best of Jessi Colter anthology in 2003. It was followed by
Out of the Ashes on the Shout! Factory label in 2006. Over the next two years,
Colter and guitarist Lenny Kaye recorded improvisational melodies for Psalms.
During the next decade, Kaye worked on finishing the album by adding additional
instrumentation. The Psalms was released in March 2017.
