The record is titled Grand Man and consists of previously unreleased music recorded between 1972 and 1983. You can listen to the song "Knocking (At Your Door)" now via digital outlets.

"These songs [Rusty] wrote with his friend back in the '70s and '80s will finally have a home," Hayley says in an Instagram Story. "So proud of him - I really learned from the best!"
