Catfish is a song written Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy. It was originally recorded for Dylan's 1976 album Desire but was not released until 1991 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.
