Do Right Woman is the debut solo album by Barbara Dickson.
Barbara Dickson's first two solo albums were on Decca Records. They won critical praise but sold poorly[ citation needed]. They show the repertoire that she had at that time as a singer in folk clubs. In 1973 her career took a different course when accepted an offer to sing on the London West End stage where she sang torch songs and power ballads. Do Right Woman was obviously recorded on a low budget[ citation needed]. The first track, "Easy to be Hard" is from the musical Hair, almost a premonition of her future career on stage. In 1969 Barbara had been a backing singer on a recording by Rab Noakes. On Do Right Woman she returns the favour by singing one of his songs, "Turn a Deaf Ear". The first traditional song on the album is "The Garton Mother's Lullaby", which was re-recorded in 2005 on Full Circle. On "Returning" she sings the last verse in French. The album is named after her cover of " Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", originally recorded by Aretha Franklin.
The album was re-released in 2006 on CD with her next album, From the Beggar's Mantle...Fringed with Gold. [1]
