"Lenny" is the tenth track on the first Stevie Ray Vaughan album Texas Flood. The song is in 4/4 time and is played very slowly and freely, as it was often played at live shows. The song itself was written and named for his wife at the time, Lenora. Vaughan also named one of his guitars "Lenny". He used this guitar during the song "Lenny" and also "Riviera Paradise".
John Mayer covered "Lenny" at a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, where his album Any Given Thursday was recorded. "Lenny" is also featured in the movie Sixteen Candles.
