"Pride and Joy" is the second track on Stevie Ray Vaughan's first album Texas Flood. It is a blues song and is one of his most famous tracks. Parts of the solos are from "I'm Cryin'". Vaughan wrote this song for his wife at that time, Lenora, but she thought it was written about a former girlfriend of his, so he wrote another song for her, "Lenny".[citation needed] This song seems to be influenced by an earlier song by Vaughan, "Live Another Day", from the album In the Beginning.
