You mean by the Stones?

The little snippet of Stu playing piano at the end of Dirty Work is actually "Key To The Highway". And there is a supposedly Stones bootleg somewhere that features Keith and Mick Taylor in 1981.

Here are some other non-Stones versions:

1940 Charles Segar (first recording)
1940 Jazz Gillum
1941 Big Bill Broonzy
1958 Little Walter
1959 John Lee Hooker plays a solo acoustic guitar version on Burning Hell (released 1964)
1960 Count Basie with Joe Williams on Just the Blues
1963 Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee on Blues at Newport (released 1991)
1964 Mance Lipscomb on Texas Songster Volume 2 and on Live at the Cabale (released 1999)
1967 Eddie Boyd with Peter Green on Eddie Boyd and His Blues Band
1968 The Band on the remaster of Music from Big Pink (released 2000)
1968 Steve Miller Band on their debut album Children of the Future
1970 Derek and the Dominoes
1971 Sam Samudio (Sam the Sham) on Sam, Hard & Heavy
1971 Muddy Waters on The London Muddy Waters Sessions
1973 remastered edition of Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert (released 1995)
1973 Jimmy Witherspoon with Groove Holmes on Groovin' and Spoonin'
1975 Junior Wells on On Tap
1977 Luther Allison on Love Me Papa
1977 Freddie King on Getting Ready
1981 Sonny Landreth on Blues Attack
1982 John Hammond on Frogs for Snakes
1987 Snooky Pryor on Snooky
1991 Carey Bell & Lurrie Bell perform a Delta Blues version on Second Nature
1991 Johnnie Johnson (with Clapton and Keith Richards) on Johnny B. Bad
1993 Buddy Guy and Junior Wells play a live acoustic version on Last Time Around-Live at Legends
1999 Jo-Ann Kelly on Key to the Highway
2000 B.B. King with Eric Clapton, Riding With The King
2001 Detroit Junior on Live at the Toledo Museum of Art (released 2004)
2002 Eric Clapton on the live album One More Car, One More Rider

By 'Keith's recording' do you mean the unreleased studio recording?

There's also a released version. Keith guested on the song on Johnnie Johnson's "Johnnie B Bad" album, which was released in 1991.

In March 1993, it was released (without any mention of the Johnson album) as a bonus track on Keith's "Eileen" CD single. The 5-track single included the studio version of 'Eileen', 'Key to the highway' and three songs from the Winos' final European tour gig at London's Town & Country Club on Keith's birthday in 1992 - Gimme Shelter, How I Wish, Wicked As It Seems.

I have the Japanese CD-single release of it :

The Stones played it as an encore in 1976 in Leicester with Eric Clapton guesting on lead vocal and the New Barbarians performed it with Buddy Guy guesting in Chicago in '79. Keith also played it onstage with Johnny Depps band a few months ago.
