"'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 13 (Rare & Unreleased) 19611991'. An alternate version from the same 1971 session was released in 2013 on 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait (19691971)'.
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. The song has since been covered by many artists.
