The recording
Recorded for the Texas Flood album, 'Lenny' is an instrumental piece named after Stevie Ray Vaughan's wife. The tone is famous for its clean, expressive quality, achieved by playing a '65 Stratocaster through a vintage Fender Super Reverb, emphasizing the neck pickup and the guitarist's delicate, finger-picked touch.
