MagnetSep 22, 2015For anyone who would like to experience all of Hansard's estimable gifts in a single listening session, he has thoughtfully provided a compendium of his patented brilliance on Didn't He Ramble. [No. 124, p.56]
-
Sep 16, 2015Didn't He Ramble shimmers, saunters and charms; Hansard has never sounded so good.
-
Sep 16, 2015Ultimately, though, regardless of whether Hansard is cribbing moves from his own country's heritage, or from one of the biggest rock stars in American history, he manages to make it all his own thanks to the quality of his songwriting and the passion behind his performances.

MojoSep 14, 2015A triumphant second solo chapter. [Oct 2015, p.98]
-
Sep 24, 2015loss. Didn't He Ramble shows that as a performer and a songwriter, Hansard can create powerful and satisfying work that's up to the standard he set with the Frames, and this is a step up from 2012's impressive but uneven Rhythm and Repose.
-
Sep 18, 2015Production by longtime collaborator Thomas Bartlett and ex-Frames member David Odlum is inviting, alluring and engaging. It pushes Hansard into his finest performances yet on originals that are haunting, poignant and beautifully conceived.
-
Sep 14, 2015Hansard too often lapses into his trademark brooding melodrama--an easy fallback for a singer who's at his best, nowadays, when he's trying something new.
