Nine is an album by folk artist Tim Hardin, recorded in England and released in 1973. It was Hardin's final finished studio album. His next album, Unforgiven was incomplete when he died of a drug overdose.

Contents

Nine was re-issued on CD on the See For Miles label in 1994 with extensive liner notes and the single "Judge and Jury".

Reception

In his review for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote "This proved to be Hardin's final finished studio album, and there is a real sense — for all of the thick electric band sounds all over this record — of someone singing his insides out. Some of what's here is a shadow of the kind of writing that he did a decade earlier, although none of it is dull or predictable... It's all surprisingly good listening, and that goes double for fans of Hardin, though they may also be disturbed by some of what they hear and read."
