By the time he went into the studio to record, Logos Through a Sideman, David Hayes had already played bass, guitar, and synthesizer for top artists, so when it came to making a solo album he didn't need to prove that he was a virtuoso. What he did need to prove was that he had musical ideas of his own that these were worth committing to a CD. He did, though not enough to fill Logos Through a Sideman with first-class material. "Logos," "O'Connell Street," and "Song for a Dead Master" are all interesting compositions. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the album consists of unchallenging new age instrumentals that are pleasant while they're actually playing but completely unmemorable. The only exception is a negative one -- a track called "The Night Watch" on which Hayes unfortunately sings. The man who backed up Dirk Hamilton, Van Morrison, and Ian Matthews may have learned a lot about music, but his voice just isn't a pleasant instrument, and he isn't an expressive enough song interpreter to pull it off. David Hayes is a talented performer, but at least on this album he doesn't show consistent genius. ~ Richard Foss, All Music Guide
