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 66.5/100, a mean average of 64.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Extremely heartfelt versions of well choosen and obviously deeply loved songs. I heard people singing Robbie Robertsons added "rap" in their covers of Elvis' "Mystery train" without knowing that it was added by The Band. Richard Manuel shines on Bobby Blands "Share your love with me" and I van think of noone else being able to find an own sensitive interpretation of the sacred "A change is gonna come".
See. They aren't only good when they are covering Dylan songs. They can make good covers of other people's songs too!
