Juke Joint - March 15, 2026

This week on “The Juke Joint” broadcast, Robert Barclay offers his tribute to the late Roy Book Binder, sharing his stories about Rev. Gary Davis and Pink Anderson. He also spins new releases by Selwyn Birchwood, Laura Chavez and Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials.

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.
