War Child
Lovely cover and a great song but does anybody know when it was recorded?

The album came out in 97, so it was probably 96 or 97 when it was recorded.
The tribute to Jimmie Rogers album came out in 1997. It doesn't sound like POP era Bono, but I suppose it could be. I always assumed it was recorded during ZOO TV just judging from the quality of Bono's voice.
I would say possibly that he laid down the vocals sometime in late '95 if the album was originally scheduled for a early '96 release but was pushed back according to these notes:

OTHER NOTES
This 1997 album was a project put together by Bob Dylan to pay tribute to the work of Jimmie Rodgers. The album was delayed several times, and had originally been scheduled for an early 1996 release but instead came out in mid-1997.
The track "Dreaming With Tears in My Eyes" is credited solely to Bono on the back of the release, but upon examination of the liner notes, you find that Larry Mullen also participated on percussion on this track, which was recorded in STS Studios in Dublin.
