Juke Joint - November 16, 2025

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast Robert Barclay spins listener requests for Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Tab Benoit, Mitch Woods, Marcia Ball, Sonny Terry and Little Charlie & the Night Cats. He also shares new CDs by Greg Nagy and Billy Branch.

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.
