Search - Sally Fingerett :: My Good Company

As one quarter of the modern folk sensation Four Bitchin' Babes, Fingerett has upped her profile and probably skewered her public image. Her own songs are far more orthodox than the challenging, neurotically funny material worked up by her noted Babe cohort Christine Lavin. Instead Fingerett works the serious line of a songwriter out to delineate matters of the heart. Nearly never recorded after a virus-induced paralysis of her vocal chords halted all chances of singing and forced her to concentrate on piano and guitar duties within the Four Bitchin' Babes, My Good Company never stops to acknowledge such a hardship. Instead the healing is the work itself. Once recovered, she recorded duets with Janis Ian and Jonathan Edwards, cowrote a song with Tom Paxton ("Private Plenty"), and laid the tracks down with Nashville's top session musicians. No matter her difficulties, Fingerett remains a dedicated professional. --Rob O'Connor
