Juke Joint - September 24, 2023

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast, Robert Barclay features new releases from Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Bobby Rush, Coco Montoya, Chris Beard, the Blackburn Brothers, Mitch Woods, Jason Ricci, a tribute to Memphis Minnie by Candice Ivory and some soul music by the Marvelettes, Solomon Burke, Don Covay and James Carr.

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.
