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 67.7/100, a mean average of 65.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.2.

The more I listen to this album the more I enjoy it. Some nice takes on classic songs. We’ll performed. Nothing outrageously different here but a nice album
I love the CJ's ~ I was particularly drawn to this album by the inclusion of Dylan's "I've Got My Mind Made Up To Give My Love To You" from his 2020 'Rough & Rowdy Ways' album. I've included the CJ's cover in my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart.
Cowboy Junkies may be best known for their covers of other songs, most notably of Sweet Jane by Velvet Underground.
So a covers album by the group isn't unusual. It's actually a nice set of songs, including covers of Bowie, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Gram Parsons and The Cure. Nothing new or extraordinary here, just a nice covers set.
Condensed to a 7" Single:
A-Side: Ooh Las Vegas
B-Side: Don't Let It Bring You Down
A lovely record of covers more or less known.
David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Cure, and many more.
But just for CJ fans.

I like the Cowboy Junkies. I have since the late-80s. I've seen them 3 times live.
When I saw this would be a 'covers' album I was afraid it was going to be what it is...and what most other covers are: slow(er), somber, melancholy versions of the original. Not as good as the original, unimaginative and just plain dull.
