"Pride and Joy" is a song by American singer, guitarist and songwriter #StevieRayVaughan and his backing band #DoubleTrouble, released in late 1983 by #EpicRecords. It lists Vaughan as the writer, but actually it is rewritten from a 1962 record called "I Go Into Orbit" by Johnny Acey. The song was released on Stevie's debut studio album #TexasFlood (1983). "Pride and Joy" was released as Vaughan's debut #single and has become one of his most popular songs.

In our magazine: "I walked into an apartment slipping and stumbling on mud so thick I couldn’t see the floor underneath. The table in the dining room was set, decorated with charger plates, flowers, and napkins nicely folded. The mud and debris covered everything." https://www.texasobserver.org/where-the-water-reached/
