Tennessee Jet, The Raven And The Dove (live), The Fillmore, San Francisco, January 6, 2020 (4K)

Tennessee Jet opens for Willie Nelson and plays his song "The Raven And The Dove" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on Monday, January 6, 2020. Tennessee Jet is a singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. The Raven And The Dove was co written by Tennessee Jet and Cody Jinks, and appeared on Jinks' tenth studio album, The Wanting (2019).

Tennessee Jet had this to say about writing the song: “Proudest co-write I’ve ever been a part of. Stemmed from the fact that Cody has a tattoo of a raven on one hand and a dove on the other. I got to asking him about what those tattoos represent to him and the song wrote itself pretty quickly… like 20 minutes quickly at the same kitchen table we wrote 'The Wanting.' A songwriter has got to know when to labor and when it’s best to get out of the way and let the song write itself. Co-writing is a weird enterprise… it’s like a therapy session with no psychiatrist… just two patients. You end up spending a lot of time talking about personal things and divulging a lot of yourself in hopes that together you can exploit that to write a great song. Some of my favorite Cody lines he wrote in this song. He has a way of writing very direct and confessional like Willie Nelson or J.D. Salinger (if Salinger wrote country songs)."

The Raven And The Dove lyrics:

I have prayed for wisdom, now I pray for peace
It seems the more I know now, the less that I can sleep
Stay imprisoned in my conscience, trying to figure what it means
To be caught between a nightmare and the sweetest of dreams

Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove

You may question how I’m living, it might scare you half to death
I’ve been forgive for my sinning, Lord knows I ain’t through sinning yet
I get my singing from my mama, I get the fight from my old man
I don’t always know where I’m going, but I know exactly what I am

Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove

Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days a raven, some days a dove

Tennessee Jet official bio:

Describing a Tennessee Jet show isn’t easy...because there is no other band that sounds like him. You could say it’s Dwight Yoakam meets The White Stripes or Waylon Jennings meets the Black Keys, but that would only be a jumping off point in describing the one-of-a-kind performance he and his band deliver.

Imagine intimate whisper-soft hear-a-pin-drop solo acoustic alt country renderings one minute and full-boar high volume fuzzed out rock ’n roll offerings the next. Picture a one-man band version of Hank’s “I Saw the Light” where everyone is singing and stomping along followed by a blistering full-band set of revved up bluesy twang. Because this is a show about the exchange of energy, stark contrast, and the power only a song can possess.

TN Jet grew up on Country Music from the bench seat of his parents truck going from rodeo to rodeo and his extensive knowledge of traditional country music is ingrained in his performances. If you’re looking for something that ain’t the same old same, Tennessee Jet is a good place to start.

TJ is currently finishing up his 3rd album recorded in Los Angeles by 5-time Grammy winning engineer Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne, Milk Carton Kids), and the album is slated for a Summer ’19 release. Tennessee Jet’s current single is a duet with Cody Jinks on the Waylon Jennings song “Waymore’s Blues."
