Juke Joint: January 27, 2019

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay featured Cajun & zydeco music to warm the place up! He played tunes by artists who played at Central Michigan University's annual "Night of Louiaiana" dance parties between 1992-2017 including Beausoleil, Buckwheat Zydeco, Chubby Carrier, Terrance Simien, Balfa Toujours, Steve Riley, CJ Chenier, Geno Delafose, Rosie Ledet, K Jones & the Benzie Playboys and the Savoy Family Band.

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.
