For decades Erwin Helfer has faithfully continued the tradition of the old blues masters. 

Now he’s an old master himself, but the 80-year-old Helfer shows no sign of slowing down. 

The title of his new album, Last Call, is less about his musical output and more about his love for a glass of Crown Royal. We listen to Helfer play from his new record ahead of its September release.
