Juke Joint - 12/27/2020

  Sunday night on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay takes listeners  jukin' and honky tonkin' with the music of Howlin' Wolf, Louis Jordan, Slim Gaillard, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, Koko Taylor, Joe Liggins, Nat Cole Trio, Hank Williams, Albert Collins and Dale Watson.

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.
