"Dollar Bill" was the second single Screaming Trees pulled from Sweet Oblivion, their sixth album, which Epic put out in 1992. Mark Lanegan and Van Conner wrote it; Don Fleming produced, John Agnello recorded it and Andy Wallace mixed it. It came between "Nearly Lost You" and "All I Know" in the singles run.
The British single padded things out with songs from well outside the band: Thomas A. Dorsey's "(There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (For Me)" on both the seven-inch and the 12-inch, and on the 12-inch, a crack at "Tomorrow's Dream" by Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward.
