# Jessi Colter discography

The discography of American country singer Jessi Colter consists of 13 studio albums, three compilation albums, 27 singles, 17 other album appearances, and one other charted song. Under her birth name Mirriam Johnson, she recorded two singles in 1961. Her first releases under the name Jessi Colter were issued by RCA Victor in 1969, beginning with A Country Star Is Born. The label also released several singles through 1972. Colter first had commercial success with the 1975 single "I'm Not Lisa". It topped the US country chart, reached number four on the US Hot 100 and number 16 on the US adult contemporary chart. It made similar positions in Canada, while also making multiple charts internationally. It was featured on the studio album I'm Jessi Colter. Released by Capitol Records, the album reached number four on the US country albums chart and number 50 on the US Billboard 200. The disc spawned the top five US country single "What's Happened to Blue Eyes".
In 1976, Colter was one of several country artists featured on the platinum-selling compilation Wanted! The Outlaws. A re-release of the Waylon Jennings and Colter single "Suspicious Minds" reached number two on the US and Canadian country charts. Colter's third studio album Jessi was issued in 1976. It also reached number four on the US country chart, while peaking at number 109 on the Billboard 200. The lead single "It's Morning (And I Still Love You)" reached the US and Canadian country top 20. Her fourth album Diamond in the Rough reached the top five of the US country chart and number 79 on the Billboard 200. Its only single "I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name" reached the US country top 30.
Colter's next several solo singles failed to reach positions inside the country top 40. Yet Capitol Records released three more solo studio albums of Colter's material: Mirriam (1977), That's the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls (1978) and Ridin' Shotgun (1981). Colter also collaborated with Waylon Jennings on the 1981 album Leather and Lace. The album certified gold in the United States and Canada. It was Colter's third highest-charting album, reaching number 11 on the US country chart and number 43 on the US Billboard 200. In 1984, the Triad label issued her next solo album titled Rock and Roll Lullaby. Ten years later, an album of children's music appeared titled Jessi Colter Sings Just for Kids. In 2006, Colter appeared again with the solo album Out of the Ashes, which reached number 61 on the US country chart. In 2017, Legacy issued the album titled The Psalms. In 2023, Colter released her next solo effort titled Edge of Forever.
