Del Cats - 'Lift Me High'

The air crackles with the raw, unfiltered energy of a forgotten era as "Lift Me High," a track by the recently inducted Rock Hall of Heroes band, Del Cats, surfaces from the depths of Detroit’s Studio “D” archives. This isn't your typical digitally-polished release; "Lift Me High" is a sonic time capsule, a reggae rock and rock steady gem, echoing the unmistakable vibes of bands like The Cables. Originally penned and recorded back in 1988, the track boasts a distinctive analog warmth, a testament to its independent production on an 8-track machine. For years, the song, along with other Studio “D” recordings, remained buried in obscurity, victims of censorship, commercial anxieties, or simply being passed over by radio gatekeepers. Yet, the recently remastered version has finally found its way to listeners worldwide, exclusively through YouTube, defying the modern streaming norm. The emergence of these Studio “D” recordings is more than just a novelty; it's a profound exploration of unadulterated creativity, showcasing the raw, untamed spirit of a band that refused to compromise its artistic vision when commercial success seemed out of reach. "Lift Me High" is a testament to the enduring legacy of rock 'n' roll, a powerful reminder of the innovation and talent that has long existed outside the mainstream spotlight and finally found its moment in the sun.
