Sam Williams, the grandson of the legendary Hank Williams and the son of Hank Williams Jr., has announced his debut album, and it features a duet with Dolly Parton and guitar work from Keith Urban.

Williams announced his debut album, Glasshouse Children, is arriving August 20th via Mercury Nashville.

Ahead of the release today (7/16), Sam shares “Kids (Feat. Keith Urban on guitar).” Of the song, Williams says, “'Kids' is a reflection of the monotonous negativity that comes with staying in the same town your entire life. While you want to get out, you still feel like a child, so you stay and continue the cycle.”

This past April, Sam made his television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, performing “Can’t Fool Your Own Blood.”

Shot in one take at Hank Williams Sr.’s house in Franklin, Tennessee, the camera weaves in between different rooms of the abandoned home as Sam delivers an intimate performance.
