I'm pretty sure it's Sonny Boy II, who played widely around the area up through the mid-'50s, when he moved to Chicago, and he was back in that area in the '60s. You may have seen on Youtube silent footage of Sonny Boy and Robert Lockwood doing promotional shows for the Interstate Grocery Company (maker of Sonny Boy White Corn Meal). But that's just a couple minutes - here's 27 minutes of footage from the papers of Rayburn Moore, the son of Interstate's owner.
