Jessi Colter Shares Her Fond Memories of Waylon Jennings

The Outlaw will Forever Live On

The Colter-Jennings experiences during their time aren’t all butterflies and flowers. The couple became iconic figures in country music’s outlaw movement. ‘Wanted! The Outlaws’ in 1976, together with Willie Nelson and Tompall Glaser, made quite a history as it became Nashville’s first ever album which sold more than a million copies. Two years after that came the greatest creation of the two Shooters who were born on May 19.

For Colter and probably for Jennings too, what the late outlaw star needed is a woman who can tame his inner demons. That role was definitely fulfilled by Colter with mementos of their success living through their music.
