Juke Joint - April 20, 2025

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast, Robert Barclay spins a variety of tunes by Memphis Slim, Little Walter, Bobby Rush, Bernard Allison, Larry McCray, Southern Avenue, Linda Gail Lewis, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, and Reverend Peyton’s Band.

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.
