A CCR Productions Recording
Recorded in Northern and Southern California, in the year 2001.
Moving from Minneapolis to the mild temperatures of the West Coast made RJ feel better, more comfortable.
This new feeling is reflected in his music.
Both, as a harp player and singer, RJ has grown during the past years.
Also, the music scene in Calfornia is alive and well.
RJ can pick accompanying players from a huge list of great musicians.
'Meet Me On The Coast' is also meeting Jeremy Johnson again, RJs guitar player from the old days in Minneapolis.
RJ's style is traditional.
He loves the old masters, but he's a talented song writer, too.
If you are into fine and soulful harmonica, played with a nice tone, you'll dig this one.
Reviews CCD 11075
RJ Mischo in superlative form, his fusion of West Coast and classic Chicago blues now fully developed (…). RJ is in great shape from throughout this set, his songwriting is imperious, and the fact that Junior Watson also adds his unique talents to four cuts just adds the icing to an already irresistible cake. Rating 9

Michael Rainsford
Beweist (…) großes Talent für den 50er-Jahre-Sound Chicagos, vornehmlich der Southside (…) In der Summe wirkt Mischo auf “Meet Me…” auffallend abgeklärt, was den lebendigen Eindruck noch verstärkt.

So relaxt-entspannt die Stimmung bei den akustischen Parts ist, so druckvoll-energiegeladen geht es dann elektrisch verstärkt zur Sache. Insegesamt eine sehr gelungene Harmonika-Blues-CD, die eigenen Stücke sind gut arrangiert, fremde Kompositionen interessant interpretiert, kurzum: Mir hat das Zuhören sehr viel Spaß gemacht.
