Genre: Country

Cactus Lee is Texas music at its core, a blend of Austin nightclub vibes, anddusty dancefloor energy. A project helmed by prolific Austin songwriter KevinDehan, Cactus Lee reflects a deep love for Texas country songwriters, interwovenwith the bold spirit of outlaw and outsider influences. With a sound that is atonce childlike, dreamy, and sharply witty - reminiscent of icons like John Prineand Tom T. Hall - Cactus Lee has carved a distinctive niche in the music world since its inception in 2019. Over six albums, including two releases in 2023, alive album, and multiple EPs, Dehan’s songwriting and self-recorded efforts ona four-track have been the foundation of a constantly evolving project.

On the new self-titled album, Cactus Lee, the songs delve into themes of love,loss, family, and self-discovery, offering fleeting snapshots of characters andmoments steeped in an inviting Texas charm. Opening track “Rabbit” introducesa love-struck yet elusive protagonist, brought to life through Bukka Allen’saccordion and Adam Amram’s infectious rhythm. “Sister” is a tender promise ofbetter times and shared moments, perfect for open roads and breezy days.With its saxophone and steel guitar interplay, “Roll Maggie” explores thegamble of love as a thrilling game of chance. “Got A Heart Like RainwaterBlues” celebrates the unyielding bonds of a family on the run, infused with abluesy resilience. “Lorelei” paints an enigmatic portrait of a captivating figure,set to the sway of doo-wop harmonies. “The Fiddler” captures the hypnoticmagic of a dance floor, anchored by a haunting viola solo. Closing the album,“Twenty Dollars” is a deeply personal ode to Dehan’s daughter, Jolene, encapsulating her strength and beauty with heartfelt simplicity.

Through evocative lyrics and thoughtfully textured instrumentation, Cactus Lee’s self-titled album rearms Kevin Dehan’s ability to distill the essence ofTexas twang into songs that resonate far beyond the Lone Star State.
