Overview

• Rusty Williams, the 78-year-old grandfather of Paramore's Hayley Williams, recorded 'Grand Man' in the 1970s, but it remained unreleased until now.
• The album was rediscovered by Rusty's former production partner, Frank Morris, and will be released via Paramore drummer Zac Farro's indie label, Congrats Records.
• The 13-track album features the lead single 'Knocking (At Your Door),' a soft rock ballad with jazz influences that Rusty recalls was once a local radio hit.
• Hayley Williams credits her grandfather with shaping her musical foundation and previously sampled his song 'Friends or Lovers' on her 2020 solo album 'Petals for Armor.'
• Rusty expressed modest hopes for the album, stating he only wants listeners to connect with his music and appreciate its sincerity.
