Jessi Colter is the real thing: Truth and Beauty.No music is Closer to the music in my soul.” - Kris Kristofferson
Jessi Colter joins Deana Carter on her newest release "The Chain" for an incredible new version of "I’M NOT LISA." Deana says: "Supposedly, the original version of this awesome song was recorded at my Dad’s studio, Nugget Records. From there, it apparently went to L.A. and then around the world. Jessi Colter is such an amazing writer and gives an incredible performance on this version, as well as the original. Rumor has it that a demo of this song found its way to a Waylon session that Dad and all the guys were on, and they were blown away, except…the tape had no name on it, so they were looking for this awesome creative young woman with the killer voice, killer song, who recorded this ‘tape with no name’! When they found out how gorgeous she was, well…..they were tripping all over themselves. Then, she and Waylon made history!"
Out of the Ashes is Jessi Colter's triumphant return to recording. After being encouraged by friend Ben Harper to return to music, she has delivered a deeply personal stellar collection of originals and hand-picked covers that mixes country, blues, gospel, and rock. Producer Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan), assembled a strong backing band—with Don himself on bass, Colter stalwart Reggie Young on guitar, and a guest appearance by Shooter—to lay Jessi’s vision down on tape. As a special bonus, he and Jessi completed an unreleased song from the late ’80s that features vocals by Tony Joe White and Waylon Jennings.

The Never Say Die package premieres the full-length concert DVD (approximately two hours), 22 performances in stereo and 5.1 mixes; plus an exclusive 30-minute featurette with never-before-seen rehearsal footage and interviews conducted in 2000 with Waylon, Jessi, Bobby Bare, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Richie Albright and others.
