J-Tull Dot Com is the 20th studio album by the British band Jethro Tull, released in 1999 on Papillon, the Chrysalis Group's late 1990s heritage record label.[4][5] It was released four years after their 1995 album Roots to Branches and continues in the same vein, marrying hard rock with Eastern music influences. It is the first album to feature both Andrew Giddings on keyboards and Jonathan Noyce on bass, who would remain with the band until 2007, resulting in Jethro Tull's longest ever unchanged line-up. As of 2021, this is the last Jethro Tull album to feature all original, new material (until The Zealot Gene,[6] which is planned for release in early 2022), although the band did release a Christmas album in 2003.
