American Land was a track first introduced to Bruce Springsteen crowds in the Summer 2006 US leg of the 'Seeger Sessions' Tour. The song was rehearsed with the Seeger Sessions band on 19 Sep 2006 at the Paramount Theatre, Asbury Park, NJ, during the fall 2006 European leg private rehearsals. The song was the show closer for every show during that fall 2006 leg. American Land is written by Springsteen, and is inspired inspired by 'He lies in the american land', a poem by Andrew Kovaly, a Slovakian immigrant steelworker, and that Pete Seeger later translated and set to music.
A re-recorded version would later appear on a special edition of Wrecking Ball.
