The album did not quite achieve the commercial success achieved by Dokken, but it did reach the Top 50 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US.[5] The line-up for this album consisted of Don Dokken performing vocals, John Norum formerly of Europe on lead guitar, Billy White formerly of Watchtower on lead guitar, Peter Baltes formerly of Accept on bass, and Mikkey Dee formerly of King Diamond and subsequently of Motörhead on drums. The original drummer for the Don Dokken band was Hempo Hildén, formerly in John Norum's band but he was replaced after a few photo sessions and does not play on the album.[6] The music videos for the songs "Stay" and "Mirror Mirror" received airplay on MTV's Headbangers Ball. "When Love Finds a Fool" was co-written with former Deep Purple and Black Sabbath singer Glenn Hughes, who also provided backing vocals for the song.
For the album, Don Dokken "[had] a rule", that all the band members must live in the same house.[7]

[de] Up from the Ashes
Up from the Ashes ist ein 1990 veröffentlichte Soloalbum des US-amerikanischen Sängers Don Dokken, das er nach der vorübergehenden Auflösung seiner Band Dokken aufnahm. Ursprünglich hatte er beabsichtigt, es unter dem Namen “Dokken” zu veröffentlichen, was die ehemaligen Mitglieder der Gruppe jedoch gerichtlich verhinderten. Die für Up from the Ashes rekrutierte Band bestand aus Don Dokken (Gesang), John Norum (Gitarre), Billy White (Gitarre), Peter Baltes (Bass) und Mikkey Dee (Schlagzeug). Als Gastmusiker wirkten Glenn Hughes und Tony Franklin an den Aufnahmen mit. Das Album erreichte Platz 50 der US-Album-Charts.- [en] Up from the Ashes (Don Dokken album)
