The New Nashville Cats is a country album by Mark O'Connor, in conjunction with a variety of other musical artists.

O'Connor selected a group of over fifty Nashville musicians, many of whom had worked with him as session musicians.

The album was intended to "showcase the instrumental side of the Nashville recording scene" (O'Connor's liner notes).

It was awarded two Grammys: Best Country Instrumental Performance for O'Connor, and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, and Steve Wariner's performance in "Restless".

All songs were composed by Mark O'Connor, except where noted.
