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 73.1/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

Hardcore troubadour Steve Earle has built up string of tribute albums. Earle followed up his 2009 tribute to Townes Van Zandt with a 2019 tribute to another Texas singer-songwriter named Guy Clark. The untimely death of Earle's son JT prompted another tribute.
Jerry Jeff is a spirited tribute to a wonderful songwriter. Walker's folk beginnings yielded songs like Mr Bojangles and My Old Man, while his move to Texas produced more laid back songs a-la Jimmy Buffet, like Charlie Dunn and Sangria Wine.
Earle's selections are primarily from Walker's debut album, titled Mr. Bojangles, as well as his 1972 self-titled album and his 1973 album Viva Terlingua. Earle pleasantly reminds the listener of Walker's charming compositions, chill and bittersweet, cheerful and tearful.
The songs are fairly live and straightforward and do not stray far from the sound of the originals. Earle especially outdoes himself on the sweeter songs like Little Bird and Wheels, an intriguing mid-tempo song that builds up to a nice climax.
Recommended.
