See Jessi Colter's 'Psalm 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd' Video

The widow of Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, has released the debut single off her forthcoming album The Psalms. This is her first album in over a decade. She has shared a new video from that collection, "Psalm 23 The Lord Is My Shepherd."

"This may be the best-known poetry in the world," Colter tells Rolling Stone Country. "Lenny Kaye and I planted the field with grape vines. We have harvested fine wine and drank freely. Working with Lenny is like moving with the wind, an invisible force of nature."

Colter's most recent album was 2006's Out of the Ashes. In late 2016, she revealed plans to release a memoir, An Outlaw and a Lady: A Memoir of Music, Life with Waylon, and the Faith That Brought Me Home. That volume hits bookshelves on April 11th.

The Psalms is out March 24th.The core tracks for The Psalms--featuring Colter (piano and voice) and Lenny Kaye (electric and acoustic guitar)--were recorded at Dubway studios in Manhattan during two sessions (February 16-17, 2007 and January 4-5, 2008) nearly a decade ago. On The Psalms, the original tracks have been augmented with musical contributions from a variety of artists including Bobby Previte (drums, cymbals, tympani, triangle), Al Kooper (Hammond organ), Paul Dugan (arco bass), Mia Theodoratus (harp), John Jackson (mandolin, violin), Jenni Muldaur (background vocals), Jesse Lauter (mellotron), Black Sea Hotel (Willa Roberts, Sarah Small, Shelley Thomas) (background vocals).
