Juke Joint: June 25, 2017

New releases featured on the Juke Joint

This week on "The Juke Joint" Robert Barclay spun some new releases including the new CD that Chuck Berry finished shortly before he died at the age of 90 last spring. He also offered a tribute to Baton Rouge bassist, Noel Neal, including his work with Larry McCray, James Cotton, Debbie Davies, Junior Wells, Son Seals and his brother, Kenny Neal.  

 

 

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.
