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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

March 16-20 1992 was a new approach for Uncle Tupelo. With Peter Buck of REM at the helm, the band unplugs (un-ironically in the time of Unplugged concerts) and makes an acoustic record of folk classics and originals that sound like they could be folk classics. It's not my favorite, but it is well-executed.
Track Pick: Moonshiner
Gems: Fatal Wound, Wipe the Clock

The first time I saw Uncle Tupelo play live, it was as the opening act for Michelle Shocked's Arkansas Traveler tour. They were the first of four artists to play--before Taj Majal, a much-diminished incarnation of The Band, and Michele Shocked herself. I wished Uncle Tupelo could have played for the whole show. They played mostly songs from March 16-20, 1992, and their tight, wholly acoustic performances matched those on the album--meaning they were absolutely spot on. The highlight here is their definitive version of "Moonshiner," a traditional Appalachian tune previously recorded by Bob Dylan and performed by Ronny Cox's character in the movie Deliverance, but utterly eclipsed by Jay Farrar's gut-wrenching, melancholic delivery here.

...And strange how people can rate every single song on a 15 track album exactly the same. Huh.

A very good album from the very influencial Uncle Tupelo. All acoustic, all original, with some very different and unique song ideas.
The best Americana album ever.
