The art of the medley died at the end of the sixties, overplayed and uninspired. The Spinners briefly revived it a decade later but went too many times to the well and interest was quickly lost. Who else but Mark Ronson would be expected to revive the genre and, really, who else would think to throw Morrissey and Marr at Diana, Flo, and Mary?
Reviving, re-imaging, revitalizing re-re-re (just a little bit) Ronson's results are rewarding and kudos to Daniel Merriweather's vocal reminding us of Andy Bell if he were a bit more butch. Smiths purist may cringe but they can't say that they've heard this one before and there are those who may think that yet another cover of "You Keep Me Hanging On" unnecessary, but they're all spoilsports and party poopers who probably don't know how to dance.
