Review by Jean Collen

Complete Headquarters 1974 by Roy Buchanan is a masterpiece of blues rock music that showcases the immense talent and skill of the legendary guitarist. The album features a collection of live recordings from Buchanan's performances at the New York City venue, The Bottom Line, and captures the raw energy and emotion of his live shows.

The album opens with the electrifying instrumental track, "Peter Gunn," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Buchanan's guitar playing is nothing short of phenomenal, with his signature tone and virtuosic solos taking center stage. The album also features some of Buchanan's most well-known tracks, such as "Sweet Dreams" and "The Messiah Will Come Again," which are given new life in these live recordings.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Hey Joe," a cover of the classic Jimi Hendrix song. Buchanan's interpretation of the song is both respectful and innovative, with his unique guitar playing style shining through in every note.
