Otis is an album released by Mojo Nixon in 1990, which featured John Doe of X, Country Dick Montana (Beat Farmers), Bill Davis (Dash Rip Rock) and Eric Roscoe Ambel (The Del-Lords).
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.
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. 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.
