An Outlaw and a Lady

Colter played piano and sang in church before leaving Arizona to tour with rock-n-roll pioneer Duane Eddy, whom she married. Colter became a successful recording artist and songwriter; her marriage to Eddy ended, and in 1969 she married Waylon Jennings. In the 1970s they made their home in Nashville, and Jessi was at the center of it all. But as Jennings pursued his addictions and battled his demons, Colter returned to her faith and found in it a source of strength in turmoil. This is her unvarnished account life, music, and love in the midst of heartache, and the faith that sustained her.
