Cactus Lee is Texas music at its core, a blend of Austin nightclub vibes, and
dusty dancefloor energy. A project helmed by prolific Austin songwriter Kevin
Dehan, Cactus Lee reflects a deep love for Texas country songwriters, interwoven
with the bold spirit of outlaw and outsider influences. With a sound that is at
once childlike, dreamy, and sharply witty—reminiscent of icons like John Prine
and 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, a
live album, and multiple EPs, Dehan’s songwriting and self-recorded efforts on
a 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 and
moments steeped in an inviting Texas charm. Opening track “Rabbit” introduces
a love-struck yet elusive protagonist, brought to life through Bukka Allen’s
accordion and Adam Amram’s infectious rhythm. “Sister” is a tender promise of
better times and shared moments, perfect for open roads and breezy days.
With its saxophone and steel guitar interplay, “Roll Maggie” explores the
gamble of love as a thrilling game of chance. “Got A Heart Like Rainwater
Blues” celebrates the unyielding bonds of a family on the run, infused with a
bluesy resilience. “Lorelei” paints an enigmatic portrait of a captivating figure,
set to the sway of doo-wop harmonies. “The Fiddler” captures the hypnotic
magic 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 of
Texas twang into songs that resonate far beyond the Lone Star State.
