Tower Records Ad Guy?

On some of the SDMB pages, the ad at the top is for Tower Records. I am actually looking at it as I write this post. There is a Tower Records label on the left side of the banner, and the word “Blues” on the right, with a guy’s head in the middle.

Is that James Earl Jones? If not, who is it? If so, what the hell is he doing there? Is he a famous blues guitarist?

He looks like a certain B.B. King to me…
