Juke Joint - August 15, 2021

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay features the work of session guitarist, Reggie Young, who recorded in Memphis and Nashville working with Bobby Bland, James Carr, Solomon Burke, King Curtis, Elvis Presley, Delbert McClinton, Dusty Springfield and Joe Tex.

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.
