about

"Boston’s gritty pub-rock band Stop Calling Me Frank is responsible for the most recent but certainly not the least version, thanks to heartfelt vocals and a howling saxophone. It’s the opening song of the Whiskey In The Jar & Other Tales From The Bar​ EP by various artists, out digitally via Rum Bar Records." - Add To Want List

"Boston's Stop Calling Me Frank takes on the famous song Whiskey In The Jar. My first version was Thin Lizzy's single a long, long time ago. Here the classic rock is taken out of the mix, not in the least by the lead instrument, Terry O'Malley's saxophone. Not the instrument I associate with an Irish traditional. This version works extremely well though. For two additional reasons. Singer's Lennie Donohue's voice seems to have been tailored through wear and tear of the years to sing Whiskey In The Jar successfully. It has that rough edge it needs to be convincing and is able to lay the right amount of emotion and surprise in the song the lyrics need. The second is that the band plays the song on the basis of an acoustic guitar that gives it a rock angle while sounding light at the same time. Whiskey In The Jar is a strong song, there's no denying there. Stop Calling Me Frank has made it an even stronger one and that is a compliment. Rum Bar Records has released the song on a compilation of whiskey and bar songs." - WoNo Blog

"Stop Calling Me Frank have had a “Spider in My Beer” and did their “Drinking After Work”. Now they take on “Whiskey in the Jar” an old traditional Irish ballad as their latest release. Thin Lizzy had a hit with it in 1972. Stop Calling Me Frank only needed till the sax comes in to make this song their own. That sax line by Terry O’Malley, which takes from Thin Lizzy, but modifies it, is so warm and alive that it stamps the song immediately. The group as a whole is made for material like this.
Rum Bar has taken the song and included it on a seven cut EP Whiskey in the Jar and Other Tales From the Bar. It’s got Rum Bar bands Shaggahs, Rick Barton, The Gypsy Moths, Richie Parsons, Matweeds and Jittery Jack." - Boston Groupie News

Stop Calling Me Frank has saddled up to the bar with their brand new single, celebrated rendition of "Whiskey In The Jar". Lining up pints, shots, and singles with family, friends and barstool mates including Shaggahs, Rick Barton, The Gypsy Moths, Richie Parsons, Matweeds, and Jittery Jack with Amy Griffin on Guitar.

Kick back some cold ones, play loud and enjoy, Cheers!!
