Mirriam Johnson (born May 25, 1943), also known as Jessi Colter, is an American country music actress and singer, best known for her 1975 country-pop crossover hit "I'm Not Lisa." Colter was one of the few female artists to emerge from the mid-1970s "outlaw country" movement. Colter pursued a career in country music after meeting Jennings and releasing her first album, A Country Star Is Born in 1970.
Colter resigned from Capitol Records and released her first solo album, "I'm Not Lisa," which debuted on the country charts and reached the top of the pop charts five years later.

Early life
Mirriam Johnson was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 25, 1943, and raised in a strict Pentecostal household. Her mother was a Pentecostal minister and her father was a racer. Colter, a year old at age 11, became the pianist at her church. She started performing in Phoenix local clubs after graduating from Mesa High School in 1961. Duane Eddy, a singer who later went by Mirriam Johnson, was released two singles on the Jamie label after marrying him in 1961 and then using her real name Mirriam Johnson. Many US markets carried "Lonesome Road" for the first time, but not enough to make any national charts. Johnson did not make it to regional airplay for the second time in a decade, with his second single struggling to even get regional airplay. She stayed with Eddy until divorcing in 1968. Waylon Jennings, a country artist who helped her secure a recording deal with RCA Victor, was the following year.
Personal life
In Phoenix, Colter met guitarist Duane Eddy. She appeared on his first album and toured with him. They were married in Las Vegas in 1961 and then settled in Los Angeles. Mirriam Eddy, Mirriam Eddy's married name, pursued a career as a songwriter. Don Gibson, Nancy Sinatra, and Dottie West performed her songs. Jennifer is Colter and Eddy's daughter. Eddy and Colter divorced in 1968, marrying later this year. Colter returned to Arizona.
Waylon Jennings married her in 1969. Jessi Colter, Colter's stage name, was adopted at this point. Jesse James, Jesse Colter's accomplice, and she based on a tale her father told her about an accomplice. The couple then moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where they had one son, Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings (born 1979). Colter and Jennings almost divorced in the early 1980s due to their heroin use. They did not remain together until Jennings' death in 2002.
Career
In 1970, Johnson, who now refers to herself as "Jessi Colter," resumed her recording career. Waylon Jennings and Colter performed duet on two of the top 40 countries chart hits last year. During her appearance on The Johnny Cash Show on March 25, 1970, she played keyboard for her husband. On RCA, she released A Country Star is Born, a debut album from Jennings and Chet Atkins co-producing. The album was not well-received and did not have a major effect on the country music market. It was Colter's first record for RCA, and she left the company shortly after. Nevertheless, her name appears on several Jennings record covers from this period.
Colter signed Capitol Records in 1975. "I'm Not Lisa" is her debut on the label. The album was Colter's breakthrough hit; it debuted at No. 301. Billboard Country Chart, no. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart, and it peaked at No. 1. Billboard Pop Chart 4 has risen to the top of the charts in 1975, with a crossover hit. I'm Jessi Colter's second album was also released that year and reached No. 1 on the charts. No. 1 on the Cashbox Top Country Albums chart, No. 1 is ranked No. 1 on the Cashbox Top Country Albums chart. On the Billboard Country Albums Chart, 4 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and No. On the Billboard 200 Top 100 Pop Albums chart, 50 are at number 50. The sequel to "What Happened to Blue Eyes" by the same artist was also very popular, peaking at No. 1 on the charts. On the Billboard Country Chart and No. 5, 5 on the Billboard Country Chart and No. According to the Pop Chart, there are 57 people on the Pop Chart. "You Ain't Never Been Loved (Like I'm Gonna Love You)" charted among the top pop 100 in 1975, with the single's B-side "You Ain't Never Been Loved (Like I'm Gonna Love You).
According to a survey by industry reports, Capitol was releasing both "You Ain't Never Been Loved" and "What Happened to Blue Eyes" as single singles for the Pop and Country markets. When programmers were uncertain which one to play, the confusion in marketing was made clear. Both sides of the Pop Top 100 were ranked on the Pop Top 100, but "What Happened to Blue Eyes" made it into the Country Top 5 for the first time. Capitol immediately understood that a mistake had been made, and purchased full-page industry ads, including: "We've FLIPPED." What Happened to Blue Eyes IS the single." It was too little and late. Capitol's risky move made it clear that Colter would not naturally follow-up the success of 'I'm Not Lisa' in the Pop Top 40, with two competing singles promoted to radio.
The second single was still a huge success in the United States and, later this year, Colter unveiled a national tour as part of Waylon Jennings' Waylon Jennings' Waylon Jennings' program at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Jessi and Diamond in the Rough, Colter's second and third Capitol studio albums, were released in 1976. Both albums were as popular as Colter's 1975 album, with both debuting at No. 2 on the charts. The Top Country Albums chart has a 4th place on the list. "It's Morning (And I Still Love You)" was the lead single from Jessi's "It's Morning)" a Top-Nowhere country hit in 1976 on the country charts. Diamond in the Rough's second album of the year produced just one charting single, "I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name." Colter had a more recognizable "albums artist" voice than a casual honky-tonk hitmaker, given that her talents were much more suited to soul-rock than to routine country music at this point. Colter appeared with her husband, Waylon Jennings, during the remainder of the decade and also released her studio album Mirriam in 1977. The following year, she released That's the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls, her next album. Her popularity started to decline in the waning of the decade, with her last two albums of the decade not having any Top 40 country hits.
Colter and her husband made a duet album named Leather and Lace in 1981. Colter's album "Storms Never Last" was written by Colter, and "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels"/"It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" was also a big hit in 1981, peaking at No. 1 in No. 1. The Billboard Country Chart ranks at 10 on the Billboard Country Chart. Colter's second RIAA-certified album to date, the album was rated Gold in sales by the RIAA in 2015. Stevie Nicks produced the album's title track; however, after finding news that Colter and Jennings may divorce, Nicks released her own version of the song as a duet with Don Henley. It topped at No. 88. Also in 1981, there were 6 on the Pop chart. "Holdin' On" was Colter's last studio album on Capitol records, as well as her son's last charting single, "Rockin' Shotgun."
Colter's fortune began to decline as the decade progressed. Rock and Roll Lullaby, produced by Chips Moman, released an album in 1984 on the Triad label called Rock and Roll Lullaby. However, in the later years of the decade, she decided to step outside and support her husband through his heroin use and various medical issues. During this period, she was still working.
Jessi Colter Sings Just for Kids, an early 1990s compilation of children's music, gathered her interest in the early 1990s. Jennings recited some of his poems for the film. Colter appeared on Jennings' live album Never Say Die in 2000, two years before his death in 2002 at age 64.
Colter returned to recording in 2006 with the Shout's introduction of a new studio album. Out of the Ashes is a factory label. Colter's first studio album in over 20 years was "Out of the Ashes." Don Was a producer who wrote about Jennings' death and reflected on his life. Jennings' "Out of the Rain" was the most popular song on the radio.
Several critical comments, including Allmusic, which gave the album four out of five stars in 2006. Out of the Ashes was her first album since 1981 to debut on the Top Country Albums chart, with No. 1 ranked at No. 61. Colter produced a duet version of her 1975 hit "I'm Not Lisa" with Deana Carter on her 2007 album, The Chain. Colter and Jan Howard contributed guest vocals to a track on Written in Song, Jeannie Seely's album. The song, "We're Still Hangin' In There Ain't We Jessi," tells how Seely and Colter are reportedly two of the only women in country music to have a flourishing marriage.
The Psalms, Colter's first album in ten years, was released on March 24 by Legacy Recordings. Colter's favorite Book of Psalms passages were put to music on the album, and Lenny Kaye recalled an evening when Colter, Colter, Jennings, and Patti Smith were having dinner together in 1995 when Colter began to sing passages of the Bible. Kaye said he was "transfixed" and carried the evening in his mind until he convinced Colter to record those performances in 2007, with the album being released over two sessions and two more in 2008. "We didn't want to choose songs that weren't about warring people but more about comfort and reconciliation," Kaye wrote on the album. Colter's "An Outlaw and a Lady: A Memoir of Music, Life with Waylon, and the Faith That Brought Me Home" was released on April 11, 2017.
