It's hard to say "essential" when it comes to Little Walter... all of his material is essential for the studying blues harmonica player. If you weren't lucky enough to pick up the box set when it released a number of years back, you're relegated to picking up collections where you'll have duplicates of tracks. If you're new to the harmonica, "Rock Bottom" is a great deal at $12 for the two-CD set
