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 is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

This is an album I absolutely wore out in the 90s. Great performances that also served to introduce listeners to many other song-writers.
Other Voices Other Rooms is Nanci Griffith's ninth studio album. It is also her first album on Elektra Records, her first covers album, and her first album to win a Grammy. Griffith also reunites with Jim Rooney, who produced her fiery Philo albums "Once in a Very Blue Moon" and "Last of the True Believers." Rooney was a pioneer producer for Americana artists like Iris Dement, John Prine and Townes van Zandt.
For whatever reason, this always tops lists as a common favorite in Griffith's catalog. Griffith had always been skilled in choosing and interpreting other songs, particular songs by other Texas folk singer-songwriters, and the interpretations are applauded here. But her interpretations are best represented when they compliment her own originals (See her 80s albums on Philo and MCA).
The result is a nice collection of covers, but no powerful new originals from Griffith herself. Thankfully, she followed this with a new collection of originals called "Flyer" that was released on the same label the following year.
