This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast, Robert Barclay, the Duke of Juke, spotlights the 2022 Blues Hall of Famers: Lucille Bogan, Little Willie John, Johnnie Taylor, Otis Blackwell and Mary Katherine Aldin, along with recordings receiving Hall of Fame status. He also includes blues Grammy winners Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Cedric Burnside.

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.
