4.0 out of 5 stars buy this CD for Shawn Colvin's Viva Las Vegas!, September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Till the Night Is Gone: Tribute to Doc Pomus (Audio CD)

I simply want to say that, pace the Himes review above, Shawn Colvin's version of Pomus's Viva Las Vegas is far from a "misstep," but rather worth the price of the CD. I enjoy many of the other cuts too, but I could listen to that one till the night is gone, baby.

Having owned and listened to this over 10 years I can say with absolute confidence this ranks as the best tribute CD I own by a stretch. The diversity of the music on this CD is a wonderful tribute to a terrific songwriter. (PS : The headline review couldn't be more wrong about Shawn Colvin's version of Viva Las Vegas - it's a stunner).

4.0 out of 5 stars The best songwriter you never heard of, November 24, 2004

I was referred this cd by a friend who described it just that way- the best songwriter you never heard of- the liner notes are worth the price of the cd. You can tell by the artists who performed Doc's songs how much he was respected. Shawn Colvins "viva las vegas" knocked me out.
