"Heaven Comes Down" is the 13th studio album by the legendary American rockers. Swap the heat of the Sunset Strip for the beauty and wildness of New Mexico when Dokken brings his timeless convertible Ferrari rock'n'roll power with some creative modifications. He's worked with engineer Bill Palmer in his Santa Fe studio for over a year and the spice Dokken brings is as potent as ever. Heaven Comes Down has a rich flavor - something like this has never been seen on a Dokken album before. You want to rock? Dig into 'Fugitive', it features shimmering guitar work from 20+ year band member Jon Levin and if you want a ballad, dig into 'I'll Never Give Up' with the incredible chorus and Levin's solo. The pattern and concept of all the songs on Heaven Comes Down doesn't even falter and just delivers relentlessly. 'Just Like A Rose' brings the Pacific Coast Highway to the vastness of the desert with the smooth and easy going manual transmission and 'Saving Grace' harbors mystical malevolence. 'Santa Fe', on the other hand, is probably the most revealing piece of what Don Dokken says: 'life-moment biography': a
spartan acoustic arrangement that provides the perfect environment for vocals and probably cements the moment of Dokken's career.
It was mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, IronMaiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken.
