Jessi Colter Signed “That’s the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls” – Capitol Records Country Classic

This is an original copy of Jessi Colter’s 1978 album “That’s the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls,” personally signed by Jessi Colter on the front cover in black marker with a heart added under her name. The signature is clear and beautifully placed on the lower left, perfectly complementing the warm Southwestern aesthetic of the album’s cover art.

Released on Capitol Records (ST-11863), this record showcases Colter’s signature blend of outlaw country spirit and soulful introspection. Produced by Richie Albright and Waylon Jennings, the album includes songs like “Maybe You Should’ve Been Listening,” “That’s the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls,” and “Hold Back the Tears.”

The cover image, featuring Colter in a cream dress against a richly patterned Navajo-style backdrop, has become one of her most recognizable portraits. Jessi Colter’s enduring influence as one of the few female voices in the Outlaw Country movement—alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser—makes signed albums like this particularly desirable to collectors.
