| | George Graham Reviews Butch Trucks' "Joyful Noise" |
 | | Trucks soon began attracting attention for his impressive musicianship, along with his eclecticism, borrowing from jazz and blues, as well as jam-band rock in his approach. |
 | | Trucks' new CD is also marked by the eclecticism that was characteristic of his debut release, but this time that wide musical range extends to some interesting guests, including RandB pioneer Solomon Burke, Latin music luminary Rubén Blades, and Pakistani singer Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the nephew of the famous late Qawwali-style vocalist. |
 | | Trucks has evolved a interesting and fairly distinctive guitar sound, resembling a mix of the Allman Brothers Band and Santana, and that is reflected in the styles he undertakes, from bluesy jams to vaguely Latin-influenced, with a Latin undercurrent present on several of the tracks. |
