Rusty Williams, Grandfather of Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Releasing Debut Album at Age 78

Here’s something fun for Paramore fans: Rusty Williams, the 78-year-old grandfather of Hayley Williams, is releasing his debut album via Zac Farro’s Congrats Records. Rusty Williams recorded his album, Grand Man, in the 1970s, but it stayed on the shelf until his production partner recently rediscovered it. Below, find a video for the album’s lead single and opening track, “Knocking (At Your Door).”

Hayley Williams, according to a press release, had heard about her grandfather’s album her whole life, but she did not realize it actually existed. Once she learned it was real, she and Farro urged Rusty Williams to let the world enjoy his work.
