Old Is New is the fourteenth and final ^[3] studio album by American band Toto (though counted as the 15th album overall with Toto XX being canonized as a studio album rather than as a compilation album). It was released as part of the band's All In box set on November 30, 2018, ^{[4] [5]} and separately on April 3, 2020. ^[6] The tracks "Devil's Tower", "Spanish Sea" and "Oh Why" feature deceased band members and brothers Jeff (who died in 1992) and Mike Porcaro (who died in 2015). ^[7] Like Fahrenheit, it was their last album to feature Steve Porcaro as a permanent member, and the second since his return to the band in 2010.
