"Roots to Branches" (1995) is the name of an album by the band Jethro Tull. It carries characteristics of Tull's classic 1970's art-rock and folk-rock roots alongside jazz and Arabic and Far Eastern influences. All songs were written by Ian Anderson and recorded at his home studio. This is the last Tull album to feature Dave Pegg on the bass, and the first to feature keyboardist Andrew Giddings as an official band member.
