Album
Hell to Pay
Hell to Pay is the ninth studio album by the American band Dokken, released on 13 July 2004 through Sanctuary Records. It was produced by frontman Don Dokken himself, and it marked the studio debut of lead guitarist Jon Levin.
The record follows Long Way Home from 2002 and comes before Lightning Strikes Again in 2008, so it sits in the middle of the band's later run of albums. Filed under hard rock, it is worth hearing for fans who want to follow Dokken beyond their 1980s records and hear how the group sounded with a new guitarist at the front of the mix.
