"The Hunter" is a standout track and single from Dokken's 1985 platinum album, Under Lock and Key. It's a prime example of classic 80s melodic hard rock, driven by a memorable, mid-tempo George Lynch riff. The song features a distinct, almost moody atmosphere, punctuated by Don Dokken's powerful vocals. Lynch's fiery, inventive guitar solo is a highlight, showcasing his technical skill and unique tone.
