It was during those vital years that a young, motivated Dokken from Southern California stepped into Media Arts Studio in Redondo Beach to lay down some unfiltered, unpasteurized rock ‘n’ roll songs. He then brought those with him to Hamburg, Germany where Dokken influenced by the likes of Scorpions forged a historic alliance, working with a young German producer called Michael Wagener, who would later help craft multimillion selling albums for the likes of Motley Cruumle, Metallica, and Skid Row as well as Dokken. From the sunbaked SoCal hook of ‘Step Into The Light’ to the ‘Back In The Streets’ furious, fledgling, late Sunset Strip sound, ‘The Lost Songs 19781981’ shows Dokken in the unfettered early days of ballsout attitude, as well as showcasing the songwriting skills which would see them sell over 10 million albums and him become an international rock ‘n’ roll star.Further cuts like ‘Felony’ carry a thuggish fuzzcoated riff think early Van Halen in really greasy embroidered denims while ‘Day After Day’ showed that Dokken could pen a radioslaying ballad. The feral edge of ‘Broken Heart’ and developed Dokken trademark of ‘No Answer’ further illustrate the band’ fast growth, with ‘Hit and Run’ standing as the very essence of exactly what Dokken would end up being to millions of ears for years to come. The result is an exciting look back at the genesis of Dokken, and the realization that from the very beginning, Don Dokken was lean, mean and hungry enough to make it all count in the years to come.
