    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] REMEMBERING WAYLON AN UNPRECEDENTED AUCTION FOCUSING ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WAYLON JENNINGS, THE LEGENDARY OUTLAW COUNTRY MUSICIAN WHO CARVED HIS WAY TO SUPER-STARDOM Memorable objects from Jennings’ career, plus remarkable items from many of his fellow musicians and friends including Hank Williams, John Lennon, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Muhammad Ali New York, NY (August 5, 2014) – On October 5 at Phoenix's stunning Musical Instrument Museum, New York City-based auction house Guernsey’s will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings with the sale of many of his personal belongings. For the first time, Jennings’ legions of fans will have a chance to own a piece of musical history. The featured collection is being offered by country music legend Jessi Colter, Jennings’ wife of more than thirty years with whom he often shared the stage. The event will help bring attention to the important care provided at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. A driving force of the Outlaw Country movement that erupted in the ‘70s, Jennings rejected the conventions of country’s manufactured “Nashville Sound” and reached superstardom with his commanding baritone and stripped-down, updated honky tonk, which gave his music a gritty edge all its own. His style changed the face of country music and influenced countless musicians, as his songs consistently appeared on both Billboard’s country and pop charts throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. Jennings’ album Wanted! The Outlaws – featuring collaborations with his wife, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser – peaked at No.1 on the charts and was the first country album to be certified platinum.

  • Jessi Colter Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL JESSI COLTER EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, Jessi Colter. JESSI COLTER The prophecy that was given my mother when I was born was that I would be a musician, but I never felt destined to be a star. Chet Atkins said to me, “What name do you think you should use?” And my father had told tales of Jessi Colter, who was rumored to have been the chief counterfeiter for Jesse James. And I thought that name kind of sounded good. Daddy didn’t like it. “No,” he says, “that’s a man’s name.” But I used it. Time passes and situations change, but deep down inside I don’t really think you change. I’m still looking at the wonder and the scenery, finding more and more to be excited about. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Jessi Colter. I “Why You Been Gone So Long” - Jessi Colter (A Country Star is Born / Sony) PETER COOPER That was Jessi Colter, singing the brilliant Mickey Newbury song, “Why You Been Gone So Long.” Jessi is a remarkable songwriter in her own right. She was the unlikeliest of outlaws in the 1970s, when she teamed with Waylon Jennings in a leather and lace marriage that produced a songwriting son and a bunch of great country records.Jessi Colter, welcome to Voices in the Hall. JESSI COLTER Oh thank you, it's a joy to be here.
