Rating metrics: Help 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 63.6/100, a mean average of 55.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 27.4.

This is a compilation of Buck Owens' earliest songs recorded on local labels. Owens was later signed to Capitol and released another self-titled album for his major label debut.

These are rough songs, both sonically and musically. Right off the bat Owens showed a dedication to honky tonk music and the emerging rock/rockabilly sound of the late 50s.

Not Recommended.

'56:a Guitar. Piano. Fiddle.

Forget what you knew
We’ll start life anew
Down on the corner of love - Buck Owens (1956)

Sometimes life just needs to be pared back to the basics. In Buck Owens case, it was a simple, catchy melody with guitar, piano, & fiddle. The bedrock of a good country song with a simple BUT much needed message.

Forget the past. You have to have faith in yourself. That you tried your best. And this is where life has taken you. A place to start anew.

It’s at these times when it’s good to get back to the basics. A good country song. A cold beer. Just chilling in a comfortable and well-worn lawn chair and watching the clouds go by. The bees dancing amongst the flowers getting their last taste of summer.

A good nights sleep. A nice walk along the lake. Take in that fresh morning air. These are the basics of life => Guitar. Piano. Fiddle.

ps. I'm just a startin' to worship Buck Owens, and this is his very first song!!!
