Catfish is a song written Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy. It was originally recorded for Dylan's 1976 album Desire but was released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991. "Catfish" was a tribute to future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Hunter (better known as Catfish Hunter).[1] Joe Cocker covered the song and included it on his 1976 album "Stingray," and Kinky Friedman released a live version on his "Lasso from El Paso" album.
