Rusty Williams to Release Debut Album Grand Man

Hayley Williams' grandfather, Rusty Williams, is set to release his debut album, 'Grand Man', on February 14, 2024, through Congrats Records, a label founded by Paramore's Zac Farro. Despite recording the album in the 1970s, it remained unreleased until now, having been rediscovered by Rusty's old production partner. Hayley remarked on the album's ability to resonate with straightforward emotions, contrasting it with the complexities often found in contemporary music. The lead single, 'Knocking (At Your Door)', showcases a blend of jazz and pop influences, capturing a sense of nostalgia. Rusty expressed his hopes for the album to be appreciated rather than seeking fame at his age, emphasizing the authenticity of his music. With its release, fans can finally experience Rusty's long-held musical dreams coming to fruition after decades of waiting.
