Juke Joint - April 3, 2022

This week on "The Juke Joint" broadcast Robert Barclay celebrates Larry McCray's birthday and debuts Larry's new CD. Robert also spins more tunes from new CDs by Keb' Mo', Ann Peebles, Jose Ramirez, Diunna Greenleaf, Trudy Lynn and the Love Light Orchestra and notes Billie Holiday's 107th birthday.

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.
