Product description


Deluxe edition of the debut album from Hayley Williams' (Paramore) grandfather. Deluxe LP features original album plus a bonus 7" that includes two unreleased tracks from Rusty Williams on the A side and Hayley Williams covering a never recorded Rusty Williams song on the B side. 

At 78, Rusty Williams’ debut record, Grand Man, finally saw the light of day. Released by Hayley Williams' Paramore bandmate Zac Farro on his Congrats Records, Grand Man is a testament to music as one of the most evergreen artforms, and proof that it’s never too late to let your creations be shared with the world around you. Evoking the luxe pop of the Brill Building, the crooning songcraft of Burt Bachrach and little bit of the Nashville Sound, what Rusty created was a singular piece of work, mostly crafted lovingly for Sharon, his wife (and Hayley’s granny) who has been by his side since they were barely twelve. But Grand Man is no time capsule: built on the grains of the past, it is a vibrant, living work of a man who had so much to say. It just took the world a minute to be able to hear it.
