"An Outlaw . . . A Lady- The Very best Of Jessi Colter" - is one great album of music by one great lady! I have been one who loved her music ever since I first heard "I'm Not Lisa" on the radio way back in the 70's. I never lost my appreciation for her songs and vocal delivery. She had been mainly absent from the music scene (at least in any big way) for many years. This CD should make her known and loved by those who once treasured her music and to those who are only now beginning to learn of her music. It should open their eyes and ears to what really great country/rock music sounds like.
This collection has a great duet with her husband, the late great Waylon Jennings doing the Elvis song, "Suspicious Minds" I prefer this track to Elvis's version.
The spiritual side of Jessi comes shining through on "I Belong To Him" (with Waylon and Roy Orbison doing back-up vocals).
One of the most moving tracks (now in retrospect) is her, "You Hung The Moon (Didn't You Waylon?)" You just know that to Jessi, Waylon did hang the moon.
"I'm Not Lisa" is on here and so is "What's Happened to Blue Eyes?" but my favorite track is "Storms Never Last (Do They Baby?)"- I wish the collection would have also added the duet version of this song she recorded with Waylon as a compliment to her solo rendition. Jessi sang this song over Waylon's grave at his funeral. How she managaed to get through it, only she, Waylon and God can know.
On an up-beat side, she and Waylon share a duet with a cover of Buck Owens' "Under our Spell Again", one of the best country duets ever laid down in a recording studio.
The liner notes say that Jessi is working on an album of all new recordings. It's her time now. I look forward to her new work, but am glad as all he** for this current collection of her past contributions. Thanks Jessi, for giving us music as beautiful as you are!
