Chelsea Walls

Original soundtrack from Academy Award-Nominated actor Ethan Hawkes 2001 film. The same year of his Oscar-nominated performance in Training Day, Ethan Hawke made his full-length film directorial debut with Chelsea Walls (starring Kris Kristofferson, Uma Thurman, Vincent DOnofrio, Robert Sean Leonard, and more). A fan of Wilco, Hawke approached Jeff Tweedy about scoring the film, and Tweedy agreed. The soundtrack to Chelsea Walls featured improvised instrumentals by Tweedy and Kotche, as well as vocal performances from the films Robert Sean Leonard (whom Hawke met when they both worked on the film Dead Poets Society), Steve Zahn (Reality Bites, That Thing You Do!), jazz legend Little Jimmy Scott, plus contributions from Billy Bragg, and Wilco themselves. Two decades later, this influential soundtrack returns with two previously unissued bonus tracks.
