Long Way Home

A mid-tempo, introspective turn for the hard rock veterans. Swapping 80s flash for organic warmth, it favors moody melodies and John Norum's bluesy guitar grit.

It's Dokken's 'unplugged' spirit even when the amps are turned up.

A weathered, contemplative collection of hard rock that trades flash for emotional depth and organic textures.
