    Shooter Jennings Opens Up About His Mother Jessi Colter: “The Truth Is Beautiful”

    At 46, Shooter Jennings — son of outlaw country icons Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter — is peeling back the curtain on a story long clouded by myths and speculation. In a rare, candid interview, Shooter spoke openly about the legacy of his mother and the often misunderstood life she led alongside one of country music’s most legendary rebels.

    Jessi Colter, remembered for her powerful hit “I’m Not Lisa” and as one of the few women in the Outlaw Country movement, has often been viewed through the lens of her marriage to Waylon. But Shooter is here to set the record straight.

    “People love to create their own version of her story,” he said. “She was married to someone like Waylon, lived through wild years in music, and didn’t say much publicly. That left a lot of room for false narratives. Most of it just wasn’t real.”

    Shooter described his parents’ relationship as passionate and complex, but always rooted in love, faith, and loyalty. While the world saw Waylon as the storm, Jessi, he said, was the calm.

    “She held it all together. She kept Dad grounded when everything around him was chaos. She’s the reason he made it through some of his darkest moments.”

    He also addressed the long-standing perception that his mother’s quiet nature meant she lacked a voice.

    “Mom didn’t stay silent because she had nothing to say. She stayed silent because she was strong. She didn’t need to shout. Her strength came from a deeper place — from faith, from love, from knowing who she was.”

    Fans of outlaw country often saw Jessi only in the shadows of her husband’s myth. Shooter is working to change that.

    “She wasn’t just Waylon’s wife,” he said. “She was a powerful woman who faced the fire and never lost her soul. She raised me, loved my dad through it all, and never let go of her faith. That’s not weakness — that’s real strength.”

    As Shooter continues to carve out his own musical path, he’s also making sure his mother’s story gets the recognition it deserves.

    “The truth is better than the rumor,” he said simply. “And my mom’s truth? It’s something really beautiful.”
