This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay features a second helping of covers of Bob Dylan tunes.

He includes work by Mavis Staples, Larry McCray, Sue Foley, the Neville Brothers, Dixie Hummingbirds, Maria Muldaur, Howard Tate, Chris Smither and Solomon Burke along with Dylan himself.

He also debuts new CDs by young Christone "Kingfish" Ingram and blues & soul veterans Wee Willie Walker and Johnny Tucker.

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.
