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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

Living proof indeed! "74 years young" and keep on blues-ing.

Buddy Guy seems to be an inexhaustible fountain of blues! This album is presented as a very mature product of someone who has lived and loved for a long, long time, but it still retains the fire of powerful, youthful blues. An amazing musical accomplishment!

What is amazing is that Buddy Guy was 74 years old when he recorded this album. The vinyl edition is awesome. Three sides with the fourth side embossed with song titles. The music really tells the story, this is the epitome of Chicago blues.
