"Pride and Joy" is the second track on Stevie Ray Vaughan's second 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'". Stevie 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 (as well as "Rude Mood") seems to be influenced by an earlier song by Vaughan, "Live Another Day", from the album In the Beginning.
The song has recently been used in a Nissan Altima commercial. The song is also included as a playable cover in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
