Dokken - The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 CD

Released in 2020, this collection unearths rare recordings from the period when the band was still finding its footing between California and Germany—before conquering the world with *Breaking the Chains*.

The album reveals a rawer, more spontaneous Dokken, hungry for success yet already displaying the hallmarks that would define their career: Don Dokken’s melodic vocals, striking riffs, memorable choruses, and a strong influence of 1970s hard rock transitioning into 1980s heavy metal. Tracks such as "Step Into The Light," "Hit And Run," "Back In The Streets," and "Broken Heart" make it clear that the band's talent was evident long before fame arrived.
