Listen to Bob Dylan: A Tribute is a tribute album, dedicated to Bob Dylan. The two disc set was released on August 16, 2005 by Drive-Thru Records. Despite the record label's reputation for its emo/pop punk roster, the compilation album contained cover versions kept close to the originals, instead of pop punk renditions of the songs.

When announced in December 2004, the album was supposed to contain other artists, including Fall Out Boy, Flogging Molly and Hellogoodbye. Later track listings featured "With God on Our Side" by Straylight Run, "Hurricane" by MC Lars and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" by The Kites, which were all cut from the actual release.
Inside the booklet of the double disc album, Stephanie Reines (co-founder of Drive-Thru Records) describes that she hopes the album will be successful in "exposing a new generation of listeners to Bob Dylan." She also dedicates the album to Dylan, thanking him for "providing the soundtrack to the past 16 years of my life." Reines also describes how she came about listening to, and enjoying, Bob Dylan.
