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 66.7/100, a mean average of 62.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

To have the hair on your arms stick up on a record that is 65 years old is soul moving. As I sit here in the States at the end of 2020 listening to an album recorded in 1955, a copy of which I just had shipped from France, I'm overjoyed to have this record in my collection.
I am late to studying and appreciating the bluesmen of old, but man...what a legacy they left. Big Bill left a hell of a record with this one! Love it. Appreciate it. Treasure it.
Best tracks: Black, Brown, and White; Hey, Hey Baby; Feelin' Low Down; Blues in 1890; What I Used to Do; Lowland Blues.
This is my pick for Best Album of 1955.
