Juke Joint: January 28, 2018

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast the Duke of Juke, Robert Barclay, did tributes to the late Terry Evans and Preston Shannon. He also celebrated the birthdays of Chicago bluesmen Eddie Taylor and Baby Face Leroy Foster and debuted new CDs by Chris Smither, Bernard Allison and Victor Wainwright.

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.
