Juke Joint - November 1, 2026

This week, Robert Barclay returns to the Juke Joint after six months of recovery from back surgery! He shares some new releases by Keb' Mo', Mark Hummel, Janiva Magness, Chris O'Leary, and Mitch Woods.

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.
