Like trying to drink from a fire hydrant

"If you want something that covers almost all of Taj's material, this is for you. If you want a taste of Taj Mahal, who I think is fantastic, then this is too much. I used to have "The Best of Taj Mahal" but I loaned it out. Surprise, it never got returned. I should've just replaced that one which is more concise and user friendly for putting in the player for a spin. "Essential" is a sprawling two discs that varies greatly and serves more as an encyclopedia.

"I will admit I'm a new Taj Mahal Fan. I met him at a private party several years ago and saw him again at the same annual party last fall.
I enjoy his music and this 2 CD set is good driving tunes.
