Juke Joint: July 9, 2017

Robert Barclay, host of Juke Joint

This week on the Juke Joint, Robert Barclay spun music from his two featured artists, Laith Al-Saadi and Kelley Hunt.  He also featured content from interviews he has done with both of these artists.

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.
