Juke Joint: February 25, 2018

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast the Duke of Juke, Robert Barclay, featured a variety of recordings dealing with the telephone including work by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Fenton Robinson, Wilson Pickett and Robert Cray. He also debuted new CDs by John Mayall, Nick Moss & Dennis Gruenling. 

Robert Barclay launched "The Juke Joint" broadcast on WCMU in April 1985. It has been a Sunday night fixture from 8:00-11:00 pm ever since. A devoted listener dubbed him the "Duke of Juke." He includes nearly a century's worth of blues history on his program including traditional and contemporary blues along with boogie woogie, soul music, rhythm & blues, zydeco and gospel music.
