Fair use rationale for Image:Goree carter.jpg[edit]

Image:Goree carter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

New Image For Article Uploaded[edit]

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:

Goree Carter and his Hepcats.

Label: Blues Boy Record (A Division Of Mr R&B Records)

Released: 1983

Catalog: BB-306

Format: Vinyl Record

Some suggestions for this article[edit]

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[edit]

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.
