Far East / Asian Influences
Roots To Branches, J-Tull Dot Com There another notable combination. In the late 70's, Tull released 3 albums that are often grouped together. It's worth noting that these are the last to include John Evans on piano/organ, and are the final discs to feature the "classic" interplay between Anderson, Barre and Evans. A trilogy that focuses on the past, the present, and the future:
