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 68.4/100, a mean average of 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.4.

A meritorious solo debut, but he got better
Probably the finest outlaw country album ever made...or is it just plain roadhouse rock. It literally sounds like music you'd hear in a truck stop dancehall in a movie.
Joe Ely's debut album is an energetic affair, but it's a clever one too. There are unforgettable songs here, especially the tracks penned by Butch Hancock.
Essential.
A-Side: I Had My Hopes Up High
B-Side: If You Were a Bluebird

One of THE influential Country Music albums. With out Joe Ely, there is no George Strait.
