Juke Joint - 3/21/2021

  This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay played some blues and soul music to inspire listeners to contribute to the spring WCMU Public Radio fundraiser. He played music by Slim Harpo, Muddy Waters, Howin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins, Robert Cray, Etta James, Koko Taylor, Curtis Salgado, Elmore James, Little Walter and John Lee Hooker. 

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.
