Juke Joint: November 5, 2017

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay featured the career of pianist Chuck Leavell. During Robert's interview, Chuck talked about his years with the Allman Brothers Band, Sea Level, Eric Clapton and, since 1983, his years with the Rolling Stones who he still tours and records with.

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.
