Lyrical Themes

Song titles on the album contain many references to female Biblical characters, though frontwoman Dee Prescott has stated that the album does not have an overtly feminine tone.[2] The album's title is derived from a sound clip between track three and four of a man stating "Don't worry lady, everything will be OK". It is taken from an after school special featuring a police officer stating the line, a sound clip that I Hate Sally used in live shows prior to the release of Don't Worry Lady.[2]

Critical Reception

The album had mixed to average reviews, with the drumming[3] and guitar riffs being praised in particular.[4] A recurring issue with reviewers was the mix of genres employed by the band.[3][5]
