Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 79.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.4.

His second and last studio album, recorded about a year before he keeled over and died at the age of 32, of a heart attack I guess. Apparently he was talking about moving from this label to Stax; that would have been great to hear him with that band, although this band is good, too. This is blues, but it borders on 60s Stax-style soul at times, eg You Belong To Me or Keep Loving Me Baby, a non-blues soul tune that also has a hint of John Lee Hooker-style blues. Both this and West Side Soul are great albums.
