โโOver The Mountainโ is a metaphoric song lyrically about people searching for better times and better daysโ explains Don Dokken. โIt seems everybody is always looking for their Shangri-La.โ
โMy studio in the Sangre de Cristo mountains has wrap-around windows staring at three mountains ranges and the city lights of Santa Fe below,โ continues Don. โYour environment affects what you write. Iโm not staring at a black soundproof wall, Iโm looking out ten windows where I can see Sandia, Ortiz and Jemez mountains, looking at the sunset every day, purple, yellow and pink, and it affects youโฆ very inspiring.โ
Watch/listen to โGypsyโ here: Video by Natalia Jonderko ลmiechowicz.
Watch/listen to โFugitiveโ here: Video directed by Chris Eyre (Dark Winds, Smoke Signals) at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Filming by Tom Strickfaden.
You can feel that heat off the Sunset Strip and see that hair in the wind as Dokken bring their timeless convertible Ferrari rock โnโ roll power to the table with Heaven Comes Down, an unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken do best. You want to rock? Sink your teeth into โFugitiveโ, which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of 20 year member Jon Levin, and if you want ballads, head on over to โIโll Never Give Upโ, hanging on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a landmark solo. The pattern of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering the goods on both sides of the fence. โJust Like A Roseโ brings the Pacific Coast Highway to desert plains with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and โSaving Graceโ carries a mystical malevolence. But โSanta Feโ is perhaps the most revealing with Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a โlife-moment biographyโ: a spartan acoustic arrangement allowing the rich yet road-driven vocals to frame what might well prove to be the defining moment of Dokkenโs career.
Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken, fans will love it, neutrals will be wonderfully surprised by some of the ingredients within Heaven Comes Down.
Heaven Comes Down will be released this Friday October 27th 2023, on CD Digipak, 12โ Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. Pre-order now at this location:
