Totally! Trucks is not only inspired by blues artists, but also east indian Sarod players too. I believe his diversity adds alot to the nature of his sound. Another interesting tidbit is that he avoids using effects, he likes to just plug his guitar into the amp.
Personally I like his work with the Allman Brothers Band, espically seen live at Beacon Theater DVD. Check out Soulshine from that DVD, an amazing example of his soulful slide playing (Warren Haynes rocks too!).
