Robert Belfour Bluesman, Clarksdale, Mississippi - 2011

Robert Belfour grew up in the North Mississippi hill country where he learnt to play guitar from his father He later moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he eventually began his professional career. Robert also travelled and played all the through the Mississippi Delta and beyond.
While I was staying in Clarksdale while on a trip through the American South I heard there would be an authentic bluesman of the old school playing in a juke joint called Red's Lounge, which is where I shot this photo. Sadly Robert died in February of last year.
You can see a slightly different version of my image which was used on a website called Acoustic Folk and Country Blues, here:

There's an instrumental video below the image, but on this next link you can hear Robert singing one of his own vocal compositions, which I think is a little more interesting:
