Belfour gives "Black Mattie," a tune originally recorded by Junior Kimbrough for his Sad Days and Lonely Nights album, a dramatic acoustic overhaul; his version comes off even starker and more haunting than Kimbrough's original. Though this could easily pass for an old 78 from the 1920s or '30s, Belfour's insistent fingerpicking style won't sound too alien to anyone familiar with Bert Jansch, Donovan, Nick Drake, or even Led Zeppelin's acoustified moments. In other words, Belfour has been drinking at the same well as the English blues enthusiasts of the 1960s, but his vision and experience goes much, much deeper.       Dan Epstein     Dan Epstein is a Los Angeles-based journalist and pop-culture historian whose work has appeared in L.A.
