Raven presents for the first time ever on CD, two landmark albums – I’m Jessi Colter (1975) and Diamond in the Rough (1976) – by renowned US Country singer JESSI COLTER. This exceptional 2-for-1 collection puts Colter’s career into sharp focus and once and for all pays homage to her position as one of the great Country vocalists of the 1970s. In conjunction with husband Waylon Jennings, Colter was affiliated with the mid-70s “outlaw” Country movement. Her first album for Capitol, I’m Jessi Colter , spawned the US #1 Country / #5 Pop smash ‘I’m Not Lisa’ and the follow-up hit ‘What’s Happened to Blue Eyes’. Another highlight is the soulful ‘Love’s the Only Chain’. Produced by Jennings it featured session greats Reggie Young, Weldon Myrick, Ritchie Albright, Jim Gordon etc. Diamond in the Rough peaked at #4 on the US Country chart and yielded the hits ‘I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name’ (#29 Country) and ‘You Hung the Moon (Didn’t You Waylon?)’. Also includes the slow blues ‘Diamond in the Rough’ and two rollicking Beatles numbers. With superb quality audio, color booklet, detailed notes and three bonus tracks from ‘That’s the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls’.
