Mighty High

The song "Mighty High" by The Cold Stares from their album The Southern, Pt. 2 is a high-energy blues-rock track that resonates with the Zoo Crew’s free-spirited, retro vibe, making it a perfect fit for their Zoo Freaks listeners. While specific details about the song’s creation are limited, a post on X from a fan describes it as “a blistering anthem that feels like cruising down a dusty highway,” capturing its raw, uplifting spirit. In an interview snippet shared on Facebook, the band mentioned that The Southern, Pt. 2, released in June 2025, draws heavily on their Kentucky roots, with “Mighty High” likely reflecting the album’s blend of Southern storytelling and gritty guitar riffs. Fans in a Facebook group have praised the song’s live performances, noting its ability to get crowds moving with its infectious groove.

The Cold Stares began in Henderson, Kentucky, as a duo formed by guitarist-vocalist Chris Tapp and drummer Brian Mullins. The two connected in the mid-2000s, driven by a mutual passion for blues and rock influences like Howlin’ Wolf and early Fleetwood Mac. Tapp has shared in interviews that his musical journey started young, inspired by watching old rock ‘n’ roll performances with his grandfather, who gifted him a piano to fuel his curiosity. After years of playing in local bars and refining their stripped-down, powerful sound, they began performing as The Cold Stares around 2012. The addition of bassist Bryce Klueh later brought a fuller dynamic, helping them gain traction with their 2014 debut album, A Cold Wet Night, which laid the foundation for their rise in the blues-rock scene.
