Fanny Walked the Earth is a 2018 studio album by a reformed version of American rock band Fanny named Fanny Walked the Earth. It has received positive reviews from critics.
A Fanny reunion show in 2016 led the band members to decide to record a new album and intended to tour, but health issues kept the band from being able to perform live. The recording process was documented by the 2022 film Fanny: The Right to Rock and it featured a number of women guest musicians who were influenced by Fanny's original run.
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, with critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine writing that band "aren't as hard-edged as" they were in the 1970s, "but that's also the appeal of this record" as "there's a warmth in the trio's interplay", good harmony, and "strong, melodic tunes, which makes this an appealingly understated comeback". Writing for NPR's Songs We Love, Ann Powers chose to spotlight "Lured Away" and stated that this album "conveys the same effervescent spirit the 1970s Fanny possessed; these women see no need to sit on stools and wax gentle about their position as rock 'n' roll elders".
