This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay spins blues by the Three Kings (BB, Albert & Freddie) along with music by Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Etta James, Little Walter, Irma Thomas, Elmore James and Howlin' Wolf.

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.
