The new album is continuing to receive great reviews! Some exciting things are on the horizon and I will be sure to pass them along as soon as I can:) Here are a couple of videos from the CD Release shows in Austin & Dallas:
CACTUS MUSIC AUSTIN DOWNLOAD
Now I am hangin’ in Austin where we are having record breaking heat…so I thought it would be nice to give you a cool free download of “Digging Up Dirt” (something I can’t wait to do!) Enjoy the tune…hopefully it can be a chill soundtrack to the end of your summer! The CD Release Tour for Uncovering Stones was so wonderful.

He and I were discussing Rusty Young (he used to play through a Leslie speaker and also wrote the Poco hit “Crazy Love”) and found out eerily that he just passed away three months earlier, which neither of us had known while deciding to play it. I wanted to have a track to let Catfish DeLorme let loose. I became obsessed with this song, mostly the steel player (Rusty Young) who plays on the recorded version. That’s also Dennis Ludiker on mandolin here.Ĭactus Lee :: Kind Woman (Buffalo Springfield) It’s like watching someone hold their breath for as long as possible. First people seem to roll their eyes that it’s happening, then by the last verse (it goes much longer than the previous verses) everyone is on the same page. I play this song very rarely but the lyrics are always in my guitar case typed up. This song is also a shout out to Cathy at Sam’s Town Point.Ĭactus Lee :: A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan) Dennis is a very great player, thanks man. Also featured is Dennis Ludiker from Austin, TX on mandolin. Arlo’s lyrical abilities are unmatched and he is very specific with his word choice.
I was watching The Muppets with my wife and kid and we saw the Arlo Guthrie episode, he does this song on the show– it’s the highlight.
Out of the versions of this song recorded, (Nix / Freddie King / Cale) this definitely leans into the Cale version.Ĭactus Lee :: Grocery Blues (Arlo Guthrie) I chose this song to break the ice because we had never played together– there’s a lot of space to fill and room to figure it out. I recently went to NY and hooked up with some very talented and nice musicians out there to do a one-off show (members of ZZZWalk, Psychic Ills– Catfish DeLorme, Adam Amram, Russell Hymowitz). We recently caught Dehan for a gorgeous full-band set at the Brooklyn-based jukebox joint Skinny Dennis, and it is with those players-Jon Catfish DeLorme on pedal steel, Russell Hymowitz on bass, and Adam Amram on drums-that he laid down his inaugural Lagniappe Session.
Rowdy, and soaked in pedal steel and Lone Stars, it shines selections from the band’s patented Texas Music in perhaps its purest form yet. Following the release of four long-players in the span of some eighteen months, his honky-tonk horizons are set next on the live set, Live from Dry Creek Café, in tribute to the band’s beloved Austin haunt.
