Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue is the eleventh solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Paul Carrack. It was originally released in 2007 on Carrack's own Carrack-UK label.

Contents

As the title implies, the album is a mixture of recordings of various vintages—some old, some new—cover (i.e., "borrowed") songs, and songs that have a soul or blues influence. Two songs are re-mixes of Carrack originals, originally from his 1996 album Blue Views. Track 4 was recorded with the Belgian jazz duo Gare du Nord and initially issued on their 2007 album Sex 'N' Jazz. Other songs are outtakes from earlier album projects, songs recorded for tribute albums, and newly recorded tracks.
