A long-lost musical treasure is finally seeing the light of day, as 78-year-old Rusty Williams prepares to release his debut album - five decades after it was originally recorded.
The release is being championed by Williams' granddaughter, Hayley Williams, lead singer of the band Paramore, who is helping to bring her grandfather's music to audiences after half a century.
The upcoming album represents a remarkable full-circle moment that bridges generations of musical talent within the Williams family. While Hayley Williams has achieved fame as a celebrated performer, her grandfather's recordings have remained unheard by the public until now.
The long-delayed debut showcases music created when Rusty Williams was in his late 20s, capturing a snapshot of an artist and an era that might otherwise have been lost to time. The album's release offers music lovers a unique opportunity to experience these vintage recordings for the first time.
Details about the album's title, track listing, and release date are forthcoming. The project highlights how family connections and modern opportunities can help preserve and share musical heritage across the decades.
