You can feel the heat of the Sunset Strip, wind in your hair as Dokken lays down its timeless rock'n'roll power worthy of a Ferrari convertible with 'Heaven Comes Down', an unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken does best. Want to rock? Then sink your teeth into "Fugitive", which rides a shimmering guitar work courtesy of Jon Levin, Don Dokken pleading "I'm a fugitive from life", and if you want ballads, head to "I'll Never Give Up", hooked on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a standout solo. The format of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering its goods on both sides of the fence. "Just Like A Rose" brings the Pacific Coast Highway to life with its smooth, effortlessly driven gears, and "Saving Grace" conveys a mystical malice. But it's the intimate "Santa Fe" that is perhaps the most revealing moment, the most sober yet glorious, Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a "biography of a moment in life", a sparse acoustic arrangement allowing the rich but road-focused voice to frame what may well prove to be the defining moment of Dokken's 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 certain ingredients present in Heaven Comes Down. 'Heaven Comes Down' will be released on CD Digipak, and on black 12" vinyl and color variants.
