Talent runs in the family, as Rusty Williams, the grandfather of Paramore's Hayley Williams, is gearing up to release his debut album, Grand Man, at 78, on her bandmate Zac Farro's label, Congrats Records.
Despite being his debut album, this is far from Rusty Williams' first rodeo in the music industry. The guitarist and singer began writing songs as a child, sang in a church choir, joined a band, and even wrote jingles for local businesses before finally recording his life's work in the '70s. While he often talked about this album, Hayley and her bandmates never believed it actually existed until Rusty's old production partner recently unearthed it.
