(1982)"Leather and Lace" is a duet album by
Waylon Jennings andJessi Colter , released onRCA Victor in 1981. It was the famous couple's first album together, though they had sung individualduet s together prior to the release of "Leather and Lace". "You Never Can Tell (C'est la Vie)" is a well-knownChuck Berry song. "Wild Side of Life" was released rather successfully as a single, reaching #10 on the country charts. The album itself reached #11.
