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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.8/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.4.

Rodney Crowell's debut had a large impact. It would begin his career of writing stellar songs that didn't really go up the charts until they were covered by hitmakers. Nearly every song here, according to Allmusic, was covered by other musicians.
The production here is classic 70s folk/country rock. It fits, but loses Rodney's music to a forgotten radio era. Rodney would continue to conform with many radio accessible styles until fitting into a comfortable acoustic niche later in his career.
Crowell has really strong material here. If it wasn't for the three so-so covers, this would rival Diamonds & Dirt as his best album.
