Juke Joint: October 29, 2017

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay featured the music of the late Fats Domino and the New Orleans piano tradition. He included work by Champion Jack Dupree, James Booker, Huey Smith, Professor Longhair, Doctor John, Tuts Washington, Eddie Bo, Allen Toussaint and, of course, Fats Domino. 

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.
