Lenny (Stevie Ray Vaughan song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Lenny" is the 10th 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, Lenore. Vaughan also named one of his guitars "Lenny". He used this guitar during the song "Lenny" and also "Riviera Paradise".
The jazz/fusion guitarist Stanley Jordan covered this song under the title A Salute To Stevie Ray Vaughan. It features on the album A Tribute To Stevie Ray Vaughan, where other influential jazz and blues guitarists, such as Eric Clapton and B.B. King, also play covers of some of Vaughan's best-known work.
