The Legendary Lenny Breau... Now! is an album by Canadian guitarist Lenny Breau, released in 1979.
The album was recorded in Chet Atkins' home studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Due to Breau's drug problem, he stayed in Atkins' home prior to the session in order to be clean and able to perform. The release was on John Knowles label, Sound Hole Records, which had only two releases—this one and Knowles' own Sittin' Back Pickin'. It was never distributed and was sold through ads in guitar magazines. On some songs Breau played a separate rhythm guitar track that he later overdubbed a solo onto.
It is out of print and with a small print run, it is extremely hard to find.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Paul Kohler wrote of the album "this record showcases Breau in the solo guitar spotlight... Breau's version of McCoy Tyner's "Visions" is astounding!!"
