		Colter returned to Phoenix and it was there that she met Waylon Jennings who was so taken by her voice that he invited her to record a duet with him.
		In 2003, Jessi showcased her legacy with the release of An Outlaw…A Lady: The Very Best of Jessi Colter for those of us who were part of the magic as it happened and for the new generation to come.
		Jessi’s overdue recognition in the form of her CD retrospective, her re-emergence as a recording and concert artist bodes well for the future of popular music when it can surely use someone of her vision, originality and accomplishment.

	Jessi Colter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Jessi Colter was born Miriam Johnson in Phoenix, Arizona in 1943, daughter of a Pentecostal preacher mother and a race-car driving father.
		Colter, like her husband, refused to conform entirely to the Nashville status quo and spent years shopping her songs around to various labels, all of which admired her talent, but found her self-penned style to be uncategorizable.
		Colter's 1981 album Ridin' Shotgun was her last studio record for Capitol and, ironically, her least successful, since it represented a return-to-form as far as her songwriting skills and inimitable vocals were concerned.

	Cary Baker's conqueroo - Jessi Colter news clips
		Colter's son, Shooter, has a growing country career of his own and resembles his father enough that he portrayed him in the film "Walk the Line." At the Viper Room show the crowd gave a rousing ovation for the mother-son tandem as they ripped through songs from the new album.
		Colter, who looks at least 15 years younger than her age, seemed giddy looking out on the crowd, but her performance was focused and endearing.
		Colter's circling is over: The queen of '70s outlaw country, who scored hits in her own right and with her late husband Waylon Jennings, returns to form Feb. 21 with the release of "Out of the Ashes," her first major solo release in 20 years.

	Jessi Colter rises out of the ashes, March 2006
		Colter's musical journey began in her native Phoenix - back when she was still known as Miriam Johnson - after she left her strict Pentecostal home as a teenager to provide background vocals for iconic guitar legend Duane Eddy.
		Colter returned to Phoenix where she fortuitously crossed paths with hotshot young country singer Waylon Jennings who was honing his electric guitar driven sound gigging in a bar called JD's.
		Colter drew her new identity from her prescient love of outlaw culture and her own family tree; she feminized the name of Jess Colter, an ancestor who robbed trains, counterfeited money and rode with the James gang.

	Booking Agency for Jessi Colter for your Party or Event
		Jessi Colter is one of modern music's singular talents, a singer, songwriter, and entertainer whose influence continues to echo across musical genres.
		A Lady: The Very Best of Jessi Colter -- which No Depression called "one of the most important and plane necessary releases of the year" -- her legacy has been showcased again both for those who were part of the magic as it happened and for a new generation.
		Jessi Colter is in the studio with producer Don Was, recording music that, as always, transcends boundaries, drawing on her rich gospel roots and her RandB leanings, as well as on pop and country.

	Amazon.com: Out of the Ashes: Music: Jessi Colter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Jessi Colter was a major figure in country music in the ’70s and early ’80s, scoring a number of country and pop hits, including "I’m Not Lisa." She was also a crucial part of the Outlaw Country movement that included husband Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and David Allan Coe.
		Jessi Colter had a couple of big hits about 30 years ago and then married Waylon Jennings and dropped out of sight.
		Colter's music on this new CD sasses a little, provokes a lot, and is so firmly crafted that it creates its own base without relying on gimmicks and overproduction.

	Jessi Colter
		Jessi Colter was born Miriam Johnson in Phoenix, Ariz., into a devout Pentecostal family.
		Colter had a new song she needed to get on tape, and Jennings interrupted his session (recording The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood") to help Colter with her demo.
		Colter continued to record as a solo artist with Capitol, releasing six albums between 1975 and 1981.

	Amazon.ca: An Outlaw...A Lady Very Best: Music: Jessi Colter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Jessi's voice transports you to a place where you feel what she is feeling, and that is truly what great music is about.
		Colter's style was always "confessional" music -- very observant and poetic, and usually about the travails of loving a difficult man. Yet her lyrics were incisive and defiant at times, her delivery vulnerable or aggressive, depending upon her message.
		Colter's 1978 album, 'That's The Way A Cowboy Rocks and Rolls' was atrocious -- an obvious, crass attempt by the label to package Colter into a [beauty] who sang what she was told to sing, rather than what she wanted to write.

	Jessi Colter - Out of the Ashes (Album Review)
		Out of the Ashes, Jessi Colter’s first collection of new material in over 10 years, finds the first lady of outlaw country pondering the ins and outs of love and faith.
		While Colter’s own compositions are, at times, hit-and-miss affairs, Out of the Ashes remains a delightful change of pace from the pretentious and superfluous fluff masquerading as country that currently burdens mainstream radio.
		The manner in which Colter employs a piano to portray a classical ambience makes The Canyon, which is about the impossibilities of a relationship when a man fails to treat a woman with respect, another highpoint.

		Colter delivered the songs (six of which she wrote herself, four she wrote with others, and two covers), and Was delivered on his promise.
		He is certainly her collaborator here, crafting a band and sound that keeps close to her outlaw country roots and yet brings out her newfound independence as an artist and as a woman.
		Colter's reading of Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is sloppy, but it offers a nice context for her stepping out of the shadows.

	Jessi Colter-Honoring Waylon, But True to Herself
		Yet Jessi Colter opted to walk down that path 20-plus years after releasing her previous solo album when she sat across the table from producer Don Was and asked, “Are you interested in hearing what I've been working on?”
		Not that Colter was a novice — she has had a long career of her own, though mostly in the shadow of her famous husband, with whom she performed for many years.
		In the studio, Colter and Was were joined by a cast of local all-star musicians that included guitarist Tony Joe White, who wrote “Out of the Rain,” guitarist Reggie Young, drummer Ritchie Albright, steel and Dobro player Robby Turner and saxophonist Jim Horn.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| Jessi Colter - Out Of The Ashes album review
		The album gets moving with the sweet sound of Jessi's voice as she soulfully sets the pace for the record with the stripped down gospel sound of "His Eye Is On The Sparrow".
		Jessi's voice is more soulful than most anyone on the radio these days, and its brilliance shines on a simple track, accompanied only by bass, piano, and strings.
		Jessi's piano playing is as powerful on this tune as her voice, sung with the fervor of a Southern Gospel singer, and Shooter makes his dad proud here as well.

		Already a strong talent in her teens, Jessi had belted out this number with surpising poise and skill and was rewarded not only with enthusiastic applause but also by a penny thrown up onstage by a young man close to the front of the auditorium.
		This same classmate shares how she was informed that Jessi Colter was one and the same the friend from grade school and high school she remembers (by another name).
		The most fascinating tidbit was that Jessi was indeed their mutual pal she'd known since first grade at Lincoln School in Mesa, and with whom she'd sung in the Girls' Chorus at Mesa Junior High in those awful jumpers and blouses.

		The cover of Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" contextualizes this female outlaw, while her own "Starman" bears comparison to the David Bowie song of the same name.
		It's glam-rock and it's country as Colter taunts a guy who's coming on to her: "Starman, shine your light away from me/You're gonna have to bleed for me."
