You’ve heard of nepo babies. Heck, maybe you are one. Hayley Williams is not. She lived a regular-ass life before she became the only consistent member of Paramore, but she’s not the only person in her family who has recorded music. After Lana Del Rey provided an example of a nepo daddy two years ago, Williams is here to present an even rarer phenomenon: the nepo grandpa.

Williams’ 78-year-old grandfather Rusty Williams briefly appeared on her 2020 solo album Petals For Armor. Long before that, though, Rusty made an album in the ’70s, which he wound up never releasing commercially. Williams always knew her grandpa as a music guy, but she’d never heard his finished recordings until very recently. Enter Paramore’s Zac Farro, whose own Congrats Records will release Grand Man on Valentine’s Day.

The lead single “Knocking (At Your Door)” is out now, and it’s a yearning ballad with a bit of an early yacht-rock vibe. Listen to that and see the album’s tracklist below.
