Thankfully Cowboy hats and Automobiles often go hand in hand so to be as efficient as possible I spun this album because it legitimately would would for either program.
 
8:00 PM ❸ CBS Dallas
Play an album with cowboy hat style

This has become an all time favorite record of mine over the years. It just always sounds fantastic. I bet I've played this for a prompt a dozen times in challenges...and I'm not sorry. And yep, it's got a cowboy hat style.

Portishead "S/T" - they played SNL in 1998 and probably played something off this album, I'd love to include a video but I can't seem to find one on YouTube...
AND
Black Market Brass "Undying Thirst" - More funky than spooky but look at that big old skull on the cover!!! This record always puts me in a good mood...

Still love my mono copy, but $15 at Walmart for this guy? No hesitation, especially when I’m buying more hesitatable records along with it (Tim McGraw greatest hits and George Strait #1s volumes 1 and 2… although after playing those yesterday, I think they were also a good call)
