Juke Joint: March 10, 2019

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, the Duke of Juke Robert Barclay played new CDs by Reese Wynans, Rosie Flores, John Mayall, Willie Buck, Tommy Castro, Sugaray Rayford and Mary Lane. He also noted the passing of Chicago bluesman Eddie Taylor, 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.
