Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	This is the official cover artwork for North Mississippi Allstars's 2003 studio album "Polaris".

Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.nmallstars.com/media
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Polaris (North Mississippi Allstars album)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of a work's cover will not impact the commercial viability of the work.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
