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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

Disco legendario en el inicio del country rock con leyendas del country clásico interpretando sus canciones y temas de autores legendarios, como Hank Williams, acompañados por un grupo de rock. Tuvo dos brillantes secuelas.

Bluegrass is not my cup of tea, but I had to admit that this album is a classic example of cooperation in music.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was a precursor and influencer of Country Rock bands like The Eagles, and their sound coalesed on this album. Formed in California a few years earlier as a jug band in the vein of The Grateful Dead, their music drifted further and further toward country and bluegrass as the years rolled on. They recorded this album in Nashville with special guest made up of country and bluegrass legends. When the dust settled they had a triple LP (Double CD) full of material. The version of the title cut (with multiple artists contributing a verse and collective chorus) is probably the definitive version ever recorded. It is worth seeking out. While the style of music is not my cup of tea, my record collection would not be complete without this album.
Tracks sound great but not enough variation for a full 100. Instrumentals on disc 2 are great!

How did I not know about this? A sprawling collection of the bluegrass masters. Amazing in breadth and skills on display.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. If you like traditional country music this is a must have set.

Not bad
This is an essential album in traditional country and American roots music...but it is way too long. The band realized this when they released it, so they pressed the first and last side on the same record. These two sides (tracks 1-6 and 33-38) play like a regular length LP. Play those tracks first and if you like what you hear, listen to the rest.
This is as pure as rural music gets.

This is 100% American music. Listen to it...appreciate it...love it!
