Cactus Lee is Texas music. It’s Austin nightclub music. Dusty dancefloor cattle call music. It’s rich and referential music, at times childlike and dreamy, all the while steered with wit not unlike John Prine or Tom T. Hall.The project is led by Kevin Dehan, a prolific Austin songwriter who draws inspiration from a wide range of Texas country artists, including outlaws and outsiders. Dehan’s latest release, “Sister,” marks the band’s signing to Western Vinyl. Dehan describes “Sister” as “A feel-good song. It looks yellow and sky blue. It needed cow bell and bright guitars to match. You might listen to it and roll down the windows in your car.”
