Jessi Colter (born Miriam Johnson May 25, 1943) is an American country music artist who is best known for her collaboration with her husband, country singer and songwriter Waylon Jennings and for her 1975 country-pop crossover hit "I'm Not Lisa".
Colter has been married twice. Her first marriage, to guitarist Duane Eddy, whom she married at her mother's church, lasted from 1962 to 1968. Her second, in 1969, was to Waylon Jennings. Their union produced one child, Waylon Albright Jennings, a rock musician. Not to be confused with his father, he was given the nickname "Shooter".
In the early 1980s, Colter and Jennings nearly divorced due to his addictions to drugs and other forms of substance abuse. However, they remained together through Jennings' passing in 2002.
