Dragon’s Domain Records presents The Hills Have Eyes, featuring music composed by Don Peake for the 1977 horror film written and directed by Wes Craven.

Don Peake is a multi-talented musician who has worked as a guitarist, arranger, record producer, and film music composer. Starting his professional musical career as a guitarist in 1961, Peake's talent was recognized early when he toured as lead guitarist with the Everly Brothers at the age of 21, playing in the U.S. and Europe for two years. Peake returned to Los Angeles to establish himself as a recording musician, and played for many of the legendary performers under Phil Spector's production.

Peake became the first white guitarist to play with the Ray Charles Orchestra, touring with Charles, and recording with him for ten years. During that time, Peake studied guitar with Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass, three legendary guitarists. Peake became one of the premiere session guitarists in Los Angeles. Don was inducted into an elite group of musicians led by drummer Hal Blaine known as "The Wrecking Crew."

This amazing range of musical experience led Peake to composing music for film and commercials. He studied composition and orchestration extensively with Dr. Albert Harris, Academy Award winning composer Paul Glass, and conducting with Broadway's beloved Maestro Samuel Krachmalnick.

His film scores include Wes Craven's cult classic WALK PROUD, MOVING VIOLATION, MODERN LOVE, and BREAKIN’, which earned him a Platinum Album. Don spent three and a half years scoring the popular Universal Television series KNIGHT RIDER. He also scored the American Playhouse production of THE MEETING, a film about the meeting between Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

Previously released on compact disc as a limited edition release by Hitchcock Records, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring THE HILLS HAVE EYES back to the marketplace, with the music remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, reprising liner notes by the composer.
