Otis is the debut solo album of Mojo Nixon. Released in 1990, it featured guest appearances by John Doe of X, Country Dick Montana ( Beat Farmers), Bill Davis ( Dash Rip Rock) and Eric Roscoe Ambel ( The Del-Lords). [2] [5] [3]
Nixon's first album since splitting with Skid Roper, and released by Enigma Records, the album was seen as potentially Nixon's break-out album but the record label's demise due to financial issues dashed any chance of success. [6]
The album includes humorous commentary on targets such as soft rock ("Don Henley Must Die"), the legal profession ("Destroy All Lawyers"), politics, and Shane MacGowan's teeth. [2] [5] Featuring a band of established musicians from other bands and produced by Jim Dickinson, the album's music was considered to be stronger than Nixon's previous releases. [2] [3]
