Follicularly, and vocally, challenged 80s rock survivor Don Dokken has revealed that tracking for the next Dokken album began last Monday.

The album, to be called 'Broken Bones', is to be released by Frontiers Records, building on an association that started with the European release of the group's 'Lightning Strikes Again' CD in 2007. That album marked a return to Dokken's signature style with melodic hooklines and blazing guitar riffs that epitomized the band's sound on such records as 'Tooth And Nail', 'Under Lock And Key', 'Back For The Attack' and 'Dysfunctional'.

Dokken's current line-up consists of Don Dokken on lead vocals, Jon Levin on guitar, Sean McNabb on bass and Mick Brown on drums.
