Various Artists Juke Joint Blues
Blues Classics: BC 23 Released: 1970
Juke joint is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking, primarily operated by African Americans in the southeastern United States. A juke joint may also be called a "barrelhouse".
Classic juke joints found, for example, at rural crossroads, catered to the rural work force that began to emerge after the emancipation. Plantation workers and sharecroppers needed a place to relax and socialize following a hard week, particularly since they were barred from most white establishments by Jim Crow laws.
Set up on the outskirts of town, often in ramshackle, abandoned buildings or private houses — never in newly-constructed buildings —, juke joints offered food, drink, dancing and gambling for weary workers. Owners made extra money selling groceries or moonshine to patrons, or providing cheap room and board.
The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog or jug, meaning rowdy or disorderly. [My thanks to Wikipedia for this]
The vinyl is clean and unmarked; the sleeve still has its shrink-wrap cover witrh a little wear along the exposed edge and corners
