"Burden Bearer," released in July 2016 on Mountain Home Music Company (MH-16692), is a 20-track bluegrass gospel album by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, featuring the stable lineup of Dustin Pyrtle (guitar, vocals), Eli Johnston (bass, vocals), Joe Dean (banjo), Josh Swift (dobro), and Stephen Burwell (fiddle). Half of the tracks feature full instrumentation; the other half showcase the ensemble's a cappella mastery. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album at the 59th Grammy Awards — the band's seventh overall nomination and second consecutive. Bluegrass Today called it potentially "the definitive album in the bluegrass gospel genre." Note: personnel cache lists Karan Casey (the Irish Celtic vocalist, formerly of Solas) — her appearance on this album has not been confirmed by any available source.
