Juke Joint: February 3, 2019

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay played tunes from the Grammy nominees in the blues category including the work of Buddy Guy, Maria Muldaur, Fantastic Negrito, Danielle Nicole, Elvin Bishop and Boz Scaggs. He also noted the passing of young Chicago blues singer and guitarist Mike Ledbetter. 

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.
