Juke Joint - March 1, 2026

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast Robert Barclay spins music by the 2026 Blues Hall of Fame inductees including Kenny Neal, Bob Margolin, Ragtime Texas Henry Thomas, Rosco Gordon, Barbara Lynn, Marcia Ball and record label owner Syd Nathan.

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.
