In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

New Image For Article Uploaded
If for any reason this image has to be removed then please message me through my Wikipedia user account. The image is a publicity shot but there are 7 other images on this album cover. Of the remaining images; 6 are family photos with no credit. They are mainly images of Goree Carter in his home and there is one outside image. It is my belief that the family photos (very relaxed informal dress and setting) were given by Goree Carter for use on this album sleeve and they go right up to the 1980s which is decades past the date his professional career had ended. I will use one of the family photos if the current image is not suitable for any reason.

This is a scan from the album:

Some suggestions for this article
Goree Carter's story is quite interesting. He mentions Don Robey as a local music impressario who owned a booking agency called Buffalo and represented T-Bone Walker and that he did some work for T-Bone (I presume as second guitarist or opening act). Goree recorded a session for Robey. Goree also did a few sessions under the alias "Rocky Thompson" for the Jade label.

The liner notes for the Blues Boy vinyl album with the Goree Carter details is signed Dick Shurman July 1983 who is credited on the sleeve for the album's production. The sleeve also details the artist royalties and states that the record was released by exclusive agreement between Goree Carter and Blues Boy Records. The fact that Blues Boy Records have to tell you how much they are paying Goree Carter in royalties ties in nicely with Goree's statement that he never received much money for his early release "Rock Awhile".

Birth name
Eagle & Leblanc, Blues: A Regional Experience, here, gives his birth name as Christer Carter, but the U.S. Veterans Gravesites gives Goree C. Carter, and the John Nova Lomax article here specifies Goree Chester Carter. If we cannot be certain, we need to cite both the alternative names in the article.
