Juke Joint - August 24, 2025

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast Robert Barclay spins some more material from Buddy Guy’s new CD, , some tunes by Catfish Keith who will be at the Wheatland Festival soon and he celebrates the birthdays of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, Dinah Washington and Wynonie Harris.

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.
