Jessie Colter aligned herself with the Outlaw image of the 1970’s Country music scene with both her writing and sense of renegade style. Her gypsy cowgirl wardrobe was a perfect match to her smoky voice and lady-in-love lyrics.
In 1975, "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.
Also in 1976, Colter teamed with Waylon Jennings (whom she married), 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.
Colter and Jennings re-teamed in 1981 for Leather and Lace, an album of duets featuring the hits "Storms Never Last" and the medley "Wild Side of Life/It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels."
