DON DOKKEN's 'Solitary' Solo Album To Be Reissued With Three Bonus Tracks
"We're gonna put out my solo record, 'Solitary', which never was [properly] released," Don told Focus On Metal last year. "I wrote that thing [nine] years ago. And I added three more songs to it to make it a 12-song CD. I did three new songs. They're not 'new' songs — they're covers — but they're really beautiful. I did the 'Titanic' song by Celine Dion. I redid it, which is, like… Everybody said nobody can do the 'Titanic' song, 'cause you can't compete with that [original] version; it's brilliant. But I Don Dokken-ized it. And I did a song called 'Jealous' by [English electronic musician] Labrinth; I redid that. And I played the piano on that and sang it, and that came out really beautiful. And 'All That Love Can Be', also written by the same person [Oscar-winning composer James Horner] that wrote the 'Titanic' song. 'Cause he passed away — the writer — he was killed in a plane crash [in 2015], a famous composer. So it's kind of a tribute. He was a friend of mine. We were the same age; our birthdays were a month apart. So it's a bit of an homage to him, with the exception of the song 'Jealous'."
"Solitary" was originally only made available at select shows during a small run of acoustic gigs that Don Dokken did as the opening act for QUEENSRŸCHE in 2008. It was later released in digital format in 2014.
Joining Dokken on "Solitary" were THE FIRM and BLUE MURDER bassist Tony Franklin, guitarists Wyn Davis, Michael Thompson and Steve Ornest, drummers Frank Lentz, Gary Ferguson and Vinnie Colaiuta, and BATON ROUGE singer Kelly Keeling.
"Solitary" was Don's first solo release since 1990's "Up From The Ashes".

The group's first disc since 2012's "Broken Bones" will feature DOKKEN's current lineup — which includes Dokken, bassist Chris McCarvill and guitarist Jon Levin.
