Today, Jay Davids releases his deeply moving new single, “Remember the Tennessee Waltz,” a song rooted in memory, faith, and the quiet power of family tradition.
Written, arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered by Davids himself, the track stands as a heartfelt tribute to his late father and the legacy he left behind–one shaped not just by music, but by belief, love, and presence.
“Remember the Tennessee Waltz” draws listeners into evenings around the family table where guitars were passed hand to hand, harmonies filled the room, and laughter blended seamlessly with bluegrass and worship. Through vivid storytelling and warm instrumentation, the song captures moments that feel ordinary at the time yet become sacred in memory–Jesus at the center, music as the language, and togetherness as the gift. More than a reflection on the past, the song honors a father who passed down faith and a love for music that continues to echo through generations.
Known for writing what he calls “restoration music,” Jay Davids creates songs for people who are still in the middle of their stories–still showing up, still holding on. Blending gospel and R&B soul with the grit of southern rock, his music is raw, honest, and anchored in the belief that no life is too broken to be restored. “Remember the Tennessee Waltz” embodies that mission, reflecting Malachi 4:6 in motion as hearts turn, stories heal, and legacies live on through song.
