J-Tull Dot Com

J-Tull Dot Com (1999) is the name of an album by the band Jethro Tull. It bears much resemblance to their official website, J-Tull.com and may have been a promotional effort for their newly acquired home on the internet. J-Tull Dot Com was released four years after their 1995 album Roots to Branches and continues in the same vein, marrying hard-rock and art-rock with Eastern music influences.
