Prior to his talk with Coulter on this edition of the Dispatch Me Home show, Big Al shares a tribute to the fallen on 9/11 recorded and still unreleased by the late King Records gospel recording artist Ferlin Husky shortly after the disaster. “I was at King Records’ office in Nashville” at the time of 9/11, Big Al says, and he ended up among the 100 DJs the label sent a copy of the track. The label and artist elected not to release it, given they didn’t want profits to come from the disaster. It’s a special song, with a touching message. Here’s hoping you find time to enjoy it.
