Editorial review
Sally Fingerett has been performing and recording as a solo artist and a member of 4 Bitchin' Babes for 20 years, so it seems fitting to release A Woman's Gotta Do Her Thing in 2004. While Fingerett enjoys writing about the same things other singer/songwriters write about -- relationships, self-fulfillment, and life -- she accomplishes her task with a healthy dose of humor. The title cut, for instance, paints a portrait of the modern woman, overwhelmed by deadlines, goals, and too many things to do. The solution? Do something for oneself, like go shopping or eat two pints of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. While this advice may seem a bit flippant, Fingerett's underling point is a serious one: "When you need permission/Remember this song/From someone who suffers like you/You're the only one standing in your way/Girl go do...what you're gonna do." A Woman's Gotta Do Her Thing includes many such moments, from the live crowd-pleaser "It's Been Said" to "Take Me Out to Eat." Despite her predilection for humor, Fingerett also has a serious side that searches for the emotional heart of things on cuts like "Little Girl Please Wait" with Janis Ian and the touching "My Friend Elaine." A Woman's Gotta Do Her Thing works as a good introduction to Fingerett, and fans will want to pick it up for the previously unreleased tracks. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr., All Music Guide

A QUOTE: "Your album is GREAT, so inspiring Your timing on IT'S BEEN SAID is do dead-on it's a master class in delivering a song with a great melody, a story to tell, all the while holding up a mirror for the audience to hear their own lives sung. How lucky a tape recorder was running." CHRISTINE LAVIN BABE AMERITUS
Sally's discography includes four other solo CDs - ENCLOSED(1983), UNRAVELED (1990), GHOST TOWN GIRL(1993), MY GOOD COMPANY (1998 Shanachie) which features duets with Janis Ian and Jonathan Edwards along with a song she co-wrote with Grammy nominee/folk legend Tom Paxton.
Her solo performances include the Putamayo Songwriters Fest at Carnegie Hall, NPR's Mountain Stage, World Cafe and Michael Feldman's What'd'ya Know. As a live touring performer, she's traveled from the "Blues by the Moon" stage in San Francisco to NY's Bottom Line to the Vancouver Folk Fest and all across North America.
Her anthem AIDS piece "Home Is Where The Heart Is" has been recorded by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert, as well as Peter, Paul and Mary,on their 1995 "LIFELINES" CD, and she was a featured guest in their "LIFELINES LIVE" PBS special.

Invited to perform as guest actress with the National Touring Company of The Vagina Monologues for eight sold-out shows, Sally's artistic accomplishments aren't just for the stage. Her essays and fiction have been published in LIFE'S A STITCH (Random House), COLUMBUS MONTHLY and other periodicals. Music is her first love. No doubt.
