Juke Joint: July 28, 2019

This week on "The Juke Joint," Robert Barclay offered a tribute to keyboardist and singer Art Neville. He included his early work released under his name along with work he did with the Hawketts, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, the Meters and the Neville Brothers. He also debuted new CDs from the Nick Moss Band, Pat Smillie and Zac Harmon and noted Buddy Guy's 83rd birthday. 

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.
