Juke Joint: June 18, 2017

Featured artists

Sunday night on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay turned the clocks back 50 years to 1967 and spun blues & soul music from that year. Aretha, Brother Ray, Muddy, Otis, Etta, Lightnin' and Sam & Dave are already on his playlist.

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.
