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 poor sales. They show the repertoire that she had at that time as a singer in folk clubs. In 1973 her career took a very 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. The first track, "Easy to be Hard" is from the musical Hair, almost a preminition 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 was re-released in 2006 on CD with her next album, From the Beggar's Mantle...Fringed With Gold.[1]
