Juke Joint - January 25, 2026

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast Robert Barclay spins Louisiana blues, Cajun and zydeco music from C.J. Chenier, Beausoleil, Katie Webster, Lazy Lester, John Mooney, Terrance Simien, Chubby Carrier and the Buckwheat Zydeco 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.
