In addition, there are a couple of recent CDs that feature the Carter Family, but I presume these were taken from radio broadcasts, and were not released as singles.

Allmusic.com lists additional recordings, all presumably more recent, by Norman Blake, Amy Gallatin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cliff Perry, Red Smiley, and Jody Stecher.
