During her career, Colter has released 12 studio albums, two compilations, and has issued 23 singles to radio.
After meeting and marrying Duane Eddy in 1961, Colter recorded two singles for the Jamie label and toured with Eddy until their divorce in 1968. The following year, she met country artist, Waylon Jennings who was impressed by Colter's voice (the two wed in 1969) and helped her record her first album for RCA Victor in 1970 titled, A Country Star is Born. The pair would collaborate on a cover of the Elvis Presley hit, "Suspicious Minds in the early 70s.[1] In 1975, she secured an official recording contract with Capitol Records and released her debut single off the label, "I'm Not Lisa," which became her commercial breakthrough, reaching #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and crossing over into the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #4. That year, she issued her first Capitol album, I'm Jessi Colter, which also produced the Top 5 country hit, "What's Happened to Blue Eyes." In 1976, Colter released two more albums which were also successful: Jessi and Diamond in the Rough.[2]
The same year, Colter also participated in the album, Wanted! The Outlaws with Tompall Glaser, Jennings, and Willie Nelson, which won the Country Music Association's "Album of the Year" award and certified 2× Multi-Platinum in sales. Following two additional albums in the later half of the 70s (Mirriam and That's the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls), Colter's popularity declined. In 1981 she returned with Jennings to record the collaboration album, Leather and Lace, which produced two major hit singles.[1] After releasing Ridin' Shotgun in 1982, Colter left Capitol and sporadically recorded in the 1980s and 1990s. Following Jennings's death in 2002, Colter released her first country album in over twenty years, Out of the Ashes, and returned to touring.[2]
