Juke Joint: December 29, 2019

This week on "The Juke Joint" Robert Barclay played some new releases and re-issues including a tribute to Mose Allison, some vintage work by the Nat Cole Trio, Jimmy Nolen and Willie Dixon with the Big Three Trio. Plus new CDs by the North Mississippi All Stars and Gary Clark Jr!

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.
