โWhile writing the new record, we had written a lot of music, but I sometimes got stuck with the lyrics so I decided to go campingโ explains Don Dokken. โI came across a woman wearing a lot of necklaces and jewelry. She was driving an old wagon with one horse and she was stuck in a hole, I asked her if she needed help but she said โno the sun will be up soonโ. She had a fire going and invited me to have some food that was cooking in an old pot, so I did and we began to talk.โ
โShe spoke in broken English and looked Navahoโ continues Don. โThere is a reservation here in New Mexico. The first thing she said to me was โyou make musicโ and I was intrigued by that, so we sat there for several hours and talked, she looked very old yet wise. She told me about her life living on the reservation and I told her about my life. She told me I had lost my way, which I found funny since she seemed to be lost but wasnโt! It was pitch black, she looked up and said โthe stars guide meโ and started speaking Navaho. I found the experience very surreal!โ
Don concludes, โI got my jack out of my truck and lifted up her wagon, we both gathered a lot of rocks and filled the hole so she could get her wagon unstuck, and then she just walked away and started to drive off without saying a word, but then she shouted back to me and said โthe sun is coming upโฆ you need to go, the coyotes and mountain lions will be hunting soonโ... very wise advice!โ
Watch/listen to โFugitiveโ: Video directed by Chris Eyre (Dark Winds, Smoke Signals) at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Video by Tom Strickfaden.
Exchange the urban heat of the Sunset Strip for the warm wilderness of New Mexico, as Dokken bring their timeless convertible Ferrari rockโnโroll power to the table with some key modifications along the creative path. Working with engineer Bill Palmer over the course of a year at his studio in Santa Fe, the Dokken flavours remain as potent as ever, yet theyโre also sprinkled with some desert seasoning which gives Heaven Comes Down a richness hitherto unseen on a Dokken album.
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 on CD Digipak, 12โ Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. Available to pre-order now at this location:
