"Wallflower" is a song written and recorded in November 1971 by Bob Dylan. Dylan's own recording was not released until almost twenty years later as part of The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991.[1] An alternate version from the same 1971 session was released in 2013 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait (1969–1971).
In October 1972, the song was recorded by Doug Sahm, with Dylan singing backing vocal, for Sahm's album Doug Sahm and Band, released in 1973.[2] The song has since been covered by many artists.
