Jessi Colter

Jessi Colter came to prominence as part of the Outlaw Country movement of the 1970s and has continued to release records embodying that rebellious sound and attitude. Like many of her maverick compatriots, Colter paid her dues for the better part of a decade before refashioning herself as an outsider early in the '70s. "I'm Not Lisa" became her breakout single in 1975, topping not only Billboard's Country charts but reaching number four on the Hot 100. A handful of other hits followed before she slowly receded from the spotlight in the '80s. Colter re-emerged in 2006 with Out of the Ashes, an album produced by Don Was. Over the next two decades, she recorded occasionally, releasing such distinctive projects as the Lenny Kaye-produced The Psalms and Edge of Forever, a 2023 record helmed by Margo Price and mixed by Colter's son, Shooter Jennings.
