Nine to the Universe is a posthumous eleventh studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in March and June 1980 in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively. It was the seventh Hendrix studio album released after his death and the third to be produced by Alan Douglas. Unlike with Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning, Douglas did not bring in session musicians to overdub instrumental parts of songs, and only one part - backing vocals by Devon Wilson on "Message from Nine to the Universe" - was wiped from the original recordings. The unedited versions of "Jimi/Jimmy Jam" and "Drone Blues" were featured on the 2004 Dagger Records release Hear My Music. All songs were written by Jimi Hendrix. less
