Old New Borrowed Blue is the 19th studio album by folk rock band Fairport Convention, although for this release, they were billed as "Fairport Acoustic Convention" as it was the band's first all-acoustic album in 29 years. Part studio, part live, it was recorded to publicise a tour of the United States and consisted of cover versions, new songs and classic tracks dating back to the band's early career.Dave Mattacks, who had provided drums and electronic instrumentation for previous albums, was absent.

Allmusic praised the album, saying "The playing is exquisite and the vocalizing by Simon Nicol and Dave Pegg is extraordinary".

Additional personnel Mark Tucker - recording engineer (live) and CD mix. Mat Davies - recording engineer (studio)
