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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

(This is a lovely american primitive guitar album. It puts me in a nice head space and the musicianship is consistently solid and rich.)
I am a fan of John Fahey, some Leo Kottke, and some Robbie Basho. I can't say I have a particularly deep understanding of the history of this style of American Primitivism, but what I've heard (the classics) I have consistently been impressed and even awed by.
Yasmin Williams is continuing that tradition musically. The guitar playing here is intricate and delicate and beautiful. With mostly her acoustic she succeeds in creating wise sweeping vistas and quite beautiful and inventive melodies.
There is a lot to digest musically here. Yasmin has a very unique playing style, and her consistently catchy melodies and her quite rhythmic playing as well as her willingness to break away from strict guitar-only arrangements make this album a full meal so to speak.
For almost the entire 45 minutes I was thoroughly enclosed inside this music and this album. It is beautiful, it has catchy moments, it has moments that feel like an introspective walk through a park during a snow storm, its got something for the whole array of music fans who may stumble upon it. Definitely a standout album.
