"Drive All Night" is filled to the brim with crooning, soft, almost unnoticeable, nuances and lessons on love. But though Hansard often shines on simple, folky tunes, here he seems especially unadventurous and Hansard's two solid tracks at the beginning and end of the album are unable to obscure the trips and stumbles along the way. Hopefully, this simple release is not indicative of what's around the corner for this otherwise talented performer.
