Some time in August, Springsteen contributes vocals and harmonica to a re-recording of "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" as a duet with Pete Seeger to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Appleseed Records. Seeger's vocals were recorded at Seeger's cabin in Beacon, NY on July 4, 2006. The backing band's individual parts were recorded at various locations around the United States during mid-/late-2006, and then everything was mixed together at Shelter Island Sound Studios in New York City by David Seitz. Around the same time, in July or August, Bruce recorded his cover of "Once Upon A Time In The West" for an Ennio Morricone tribute album. Bruce sent his electric guitar base track to the Italian producer/conductor Luigi Caiola, who overdubbed orchestra/string parts over Bruce's guitar to create the finished recording. A solo version of "American Land" was recorded sometime in the second half of 2006; we have placed it here for convenience.
