You can feel that heat off the Sunset Strip and see that hair in the wind as Dokken bring their timeless convertible Ferrari rock 'n' 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 'Fugitive', which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of Jon Levin, Don Dokken imploring that 'I'm a fugitive from life', and if you want ballads, head on over to 'I'll Never Give Up', 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. 'Just Like a Rose' brings the Pacific Coast Highway into vision with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and 'Saving Grace' carries a mystical malevolence.

It wasn't always multi-platinum sales and stadium gigs for Dokken. There was a first-phase and there were early days, and it is those bold first steps to stardom which are celebrated comprehensively on Dokken's 'The Lost Songs: 1978-1981'album.
