She was the first lady of Outlaw Country. But before the fame, the platinum records, and life with Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter was just a girl singing in church.
Born to a Pentecostal evangelist and a race-car driver, Jessi’s journey took her from small-town Arizona to the heart of the Nashville Sound. She toured with Duane Eddy, wrote songs recorded by legends like Nancy Sinatra, and became the only woman on the historic Wanted: The Outlaws album. But behind the music was a turbulent love story—one of passion, addiction, and faith.
In An Outlaw and a Lady, Jessi shares an intimate, riveting memoir of music, love, and redemption. A must-read for fans of country music, Waylon Jennings, and the power of faith.
