Juke Joint: March 15, 2020

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast, Robert Barclay featured these new releases by Rory Block, Bernard Allison, Phantom Blues Band, Sass Jordan, King Solomon Hicks, Ivy Ford, Luther "Badman" Keith, Forrest McDonald and a couple of cigar box guitarists, Ben Rice & RB Stone.

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.
