Till the Night is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus is a highly-regarded 1995 Rhino Records compilation CD featuring major artists like Bob Dylan, The Band, and Dion, covering songs by legendary songwriter Doc Pomus, showcasing his timeless American pop standards in rock, country rock, and pop styles, and is celebrated for its strong execution.

Key Details:

Artists: Various (including Bob Dylan, Dion, The Band, Dr. John).

Label: Rhino Records.

Release: March 1995.

Genre: Rock, Country Rock, Rock & Pop.

Content: A collection of Doc Pomus's classic songs performed by contemporary artists.

Significance: Considered a successful tribute album that solidifies Pomus's place as an American music icon.

This CD is well-regarded by fans and critics, highlighting the enduring quality of Pomus's songwriting through diverse interpretations.

Most tribute albums pay their respects to artists that were identified with a particular sound, which makes all of the new versions quite disappointing. Till the Night Is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus avoids that problem, since the selected artists are paying tribute to a songwriter, not a performer. Doc Pomus wrote some of the greatest songs of the rock & roll era, including "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "This Magic Moment"; although definitive versions of these songs have been recorded, they are written well enough to be open to reinterpretation. On Till the Night Is Gone, a number of first-rate artists, including Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Los Lobos, and Shawn Colvin, rework Pomus' songs into their own distinct styles. Some of the songs fall flat -- Colvin's stark take on "Viva Las Vegas" is too stiff -- but all of the tracks show some degree of imagination, which makes Till the Night Is Gone one of the best tribute albums of 1995.
