Up From The Ashes - CD

This is Don Dokken's first solo album, after he disbanded his self-named band Dokken. With a line-up consisting of Europe's John Norum on lead-guitar and Billy White from the thrash metal band Watchtower as the second guitar player which make with Don Dokken himself a killer three guitars line-up. With Accept bassist Peter Baltes and King Diamond drummer Mikkey Dee it's a real super band. Songs like "Crash N' Burn", "The Hunger" and "Give It Up" still have that classic Dokken feel to it while "When Some Nights", "Stay" and "Forever" express the more melodic, mellow and hook driven side of Don as a songwriter. With John Norum and Billy White on the guitar it's an absolute killer album.
