Welcome To Juke Joint Videos 

Juke Joints were usually a one room shack on the outskirts of a southern plantation. During Prohibition, Juke Joints were the only places people could go and buy bootleg liquor. It was also a place to go to listen to music, dance and cut loose from the daily hardships of being a plantation migrant farm worker or sharecropper.

The word juke means "to shake up" and that they did. The Juke Joints became known as a place where they played ( what was referred to as) "The Devils Music". The so-called "Devils Music" became the foundation for Rock and Roll and thus Blues was born.
