Bio:

Donald Maynard "Don" Dokken (born June 29, 1953) is an American heavy metal vocalist, best known for being the lead singer, occasional guitarist, and founder of the band Dokken.He is known for his vibrato-laden, melodic vocal style which has made him an influential figure in American hard rock and heavy metal. After enjoying mainstream success with Dokken, he parted ways with the band in 1988 and pursued a solo career.His 1990 solo album, Up from the Ashes, featured Europe guitarist John Norum and spawned two singles. He and drummer Mick Brown are the only remaining original members of Dokken.Don reformed Dokken in the early 1990s and has been continuing on with the band ever since. He released his second solo album, titled Solitary in 2008; it was a stylistic departure from his Dokken material.In the late 1970s, Don Dokken was playing in a Los Angeles-based band called Airborn, and had the opportunity to reach a record deal in Germany. After seeing the band Xciter, and future bandmates George Lynch and Mick Brown, he knew that they would complete the band that would land the record deal. Although Lynch and Brown were not interested in joining forces with him when he first contacted them, he went ahead to Germany. Don, with the help of one of Xciter's songs, did get the record deal, and he finally convinced Lynch and Brown, along with bassist Juan Croucier, to join him in Dokken soon after he received it.During his time in Germany, Dokken befriended the German band Scorpions, and sang with them in rehearsals for their Blackout album while lead vocalist Klaus Meine was being treated for nodes on his vocal cords. Meine recovered and returned to record the album, although Dokken's background vocals remained on several tracks.In 1983, America saw the release of the first Dokken album, Breaking the Chains which had a moderate reception. However Juan Croucier left the band to join Ratt. Jeff Pilson was brought in for their second release, Tooth and Nail, and at this time metal fans and critics began to take notice of the band. Don's strong, melodic vocals, coupled with Lynch's blazing guitar playing, guided Dokken to national fame.In the late 1980s, however, personal tension between Dokken and Lynch took its toll on the band. In 1988, after the Monsters of Rock Tour and a further platinum album, Don Dokken decided to break up the band and they went on their separate ways.Don Dokken originally wanted to continue on with the Dokken name, but since Lynch maintained partial ownership, he was forced to put out his next album under the Don Dokken name, and it became known as his first solo album. The album, titled Up from the Ashes, was released in 1990, and was very similar to the Dokken catalog. This project was a supergroup of sorts, made up of guitarists John Norum (of Europe fame) and Billy White ( of Watchtower fame), bassist Peter Baltes (of Accept fame), and drummer Mikkey Dee (of King Diamond and Motörhead).Both Dee and Baltes had previously been members of Dokken during the late 1970s for brief periods. Two music videos were made for the singles "Mirror Mirror" and "Stay". Also, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Don spent time as a producer for the metal band XYZ.He also made a guest appearance on the German progressive metal band Vanden Plas's Spirit of Live album as the vocalist for their live performance of Dokken's "Kiss of Death" with which the studio version can be found on Vanden Plas's "Far Off Grace" album.Around late 1993, Don started to talk with Mick Brown, who had recently left George Lynch's new group, Lynch Mob. They joined up with Jeff Pilson, and started to write new songs. In 1994, they sent what they had written to George Lynch, who was impressed with the material. Together, they decided to reunite and tour again. This reunion lasted for three years and resulted in two new Dokken albums, an acoustic live disc, and a full live concert recorded in Japan in 1995.In the late-1990s, Dokken once again parted ways with George Lynch, gained guitarist Reb Beach, and later kicked off a new era with guitarist John Norum after the departure of Reb Beach. That union didn't last long as Norum departed quickly to re-unite with Europe. Norum was briefly replaced by Italian guitarist Alex De Rosso for the live tour [1] until Don managed to find a permanent replacement and in 2003 Guitarist/Lawyer Jon Levin filled that position where he continues to this day at Don's side.Since 1994, Dokken has released six studio albums, two live albums, a Greatest Hits album, as well as their first two DVDs. Don Dokken released a new solo album titled Solitary in 2008 and Dokken released a new album titled Lightning Strikes Again during the same year. On March 1, 2010, the band Dokken's second greatest hits album, aptly titled Greatest Hits, was digitally released to iTunes and Amazon.com. The physical album with additional tracks is set to release from King Records (Japan) on April 21, 2010 and will be available in the United States through Cleopatra Records at a later date.

Album:

CleoRecs just released officially for the first time DON DOKKEN‘s solo album “Solitary“. Originally not for sale, homemade copied CDr given by Don during some acoustic gigs in 2008, there was a Japanese release in 2016, this time silver / factory pressed but in very limited copies.Now “Solitary” is being officially released with the addition of 3 songs and refreshed artwork.On “Solitary” Don Dokken performs original songs and cover versions in an acoustic format and new arrangements. Acoustic mean unplugged, but not just an acoustic guitar as example, but a full band featuring some stellar musicians such as Michael Thompson on guitar and bass, Tony Franklin on bass, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, John Keane on piano and synthesizer, Kelly Keeling providing some background vocals and more.Don previously stated about “Solitary”: “The recording labels do not understand this CD. Even though Robert Plant has done a similar record, most labels are afraid to release a mellow peaceful record like this. I think they are afraid that my fans won’t understand the music on ‘Solitary’.I am very proud of this body of work. The songs come from my heart and it was a chance to show a different side of me.” At times, Don sounds like Dokken (the band) into an acoustic set like in “In The Meadow”, at others like late ’80s Queenryche going acoustic, and on songs such as ‘Venice’, there’s some classic rock feeling ala Eagles.‘Jealous’ it’s just Don and a piano, very stripped, for sure recorded at one take and pretty spine tingling.Along side this first official CD release, there will be a fist ever vinyl pressing of the album in limited edition RED vinyl.For years a rarity impossible to find, now available for all fans to enjoy.

Line-Up:

Don Dokken – vocals and guitar
Wyn Davis – guitar, bass and synthesizer
Michael Thompson – guitar and bass
Steve Ornest – guitar
Tony Franklin – bass
Frank Lentz – drums
Gary Ferguson – drums
Vinnie Colaiuta – drums
Additional Musicians:
John Schreiner – piano and synthesizer
John Keane – piano and synthesizer
Kelly Keeling – background vocals on 3

Album:

Reissue release limited to 200 copies of the original album released by Carrere in 1981.This version contains different mixes and titles and clearly, in some cases, different recordings of songs from the later (1983) U.S. edition. "Paris Is Burning" is called "Paris", and is actually a studio version as opposed to the live recording in Berlin from December 1982. The album also contains a song called "We're Illegal", which later turned into "Live To Rock (Rock To Live)".Whilst Juan Croucier is credited as the bassist on the album, Don Dokken has since said that Peter Baltes actually performs all the bass on this record.This is the first reissue of the original recordings since the release of the U.S. version in 1983 which also featured a shortened band name as well as a slightly different titel. As bonus is included 8 live tracks recorded in 1983 at the Oasis in Sacramento CA.
