“Sadie’s Got Her New Dress On” is a song recorded by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, the band the mandolin player Doyle Lawson founded in 1979. It appeared on their 2007 album “More Behind the Picture Than the Wall.”
The song is a lighthearted dance-floor number. Sadie has put on her new dress and gone looking for a partner, and the lyric watches the suitors take notice of her at the dance — a bright, good-humored picture of courting.
Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver were long admired for their crisp arrangements and harmony.
