This Is the New That is the fourth album by American singer-songwriter Jonathan Byrd. It was officially released on March 21, 2007, although it's online availability began in late December 2006.[6] While Byrd's earlier recordings have been in more of a traditional folk vein ranging at times from bluegrass to world music, this release places Byrd's song craft in somewhat more of a rock setting. According to Byrd, some of his diverse influences here include Bob Dylan, Anaïs Mitchell, The Beatles & Merle Haggard.[7]

Byrd is joined by a number of musicians. Collaborators from his previous disc, Rob McMaken and Andrew Reissiger of the Athens, Georgia-based world music duo, Dromedary join him again on this recording, however, this time they bring in amped up electric guitars rather than their usual assortment of exotic instruments.[8]

Mastering of the CD was completed in early October 2006,[9] and tracks from the disc began receiving its first U.S. airplay later that month.[10] Also, the track, "The Cocaine Kid" received airplay in Europe as early as January 2007.[11]
