"J-Tull Dot Com" (1999) is the name of an album by the band Jethro Tull. It bears much resemblance to their official website, [http://j-tull.com 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.
