The Black Album (Ethan Hawke compilation)

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The Black Album (stylised as The BLACK ALBUM) is an unofficial compilation album of solo material by members of the British rock group the Beatles. It was created by the American actor Ethan Hawke, and became widely known as a result of its inclusion in the 2014 film Boyhood. Hawke compiled the record to give to his daughter Maya on her 13th birthday in 2011, including personalised liner notes; it was then incorporated into Boyhood in scenes shot later that year, with Hawke's character giving it to his son as a birthday present.
