Great list, I would add :
Weapon of Prayer - Louvin Brothers
Although the Country Gentlemen have a great rendition with Charlie Waller on lead vocals, too.

"A Memory Like Mine" by Darrell Scott. There are several versions on YouTube - Darrell with Tim O'Brien, Mountain Heart and others. Cadillac Sky does a great version but I didn't see it on YouTube. John Cowan did a cover as well but he messed up an important lyric and ruined the meaning (for me at least).
