Artist:  Skid Roper

Title:  Lydias Café

Date:  1991

Label:  Triple X Records   51044-1

Photography By:  Tim Griswold

Notes:  Stepping out from behind the shadow of Mojo Nixon, Skid puts on many hats. Playing all the instruments, producing the sessions as well as writing all of the songs (with the exception of an excellent version of the age old tune "The Riddle") Skid takes the bull by the horns and turns in a respectable performance. A definite "must have" for the Mojo fan on your Christmas list. The cover photos capture the man in all his glory. A fun record.
