Gordon dedicated all of 2007 to writing The Green Sparrow while taking a yearlong hiatus from touring. It was recorded at the end of 2007 and into 2008 in his home recording studio in Vermont and features guest appearances from Bill Kreutzmann, Trey Anastasio, Chuck Leavell, Page McConnell, Ivan Neville and others. A 2008 Summer Tour to support the album began in July 2008 and stretched into September with Gordon backed by Max Creek guitarist Scott Murawski, keyboardist Tom Cleary, drummer Todd Isler, and percussionist Craig Myers. Only Murawski remains from Gordon's original 2003 touring band.
