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 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

I'm a longtime fan of J.J. Cale. Troubadour is my favorite. Great Americana blues with incredible rhythm and laid back drive.
Another mellow laid back album from J.J.Cale. Troubadour, adds brass to his already relaxed grooves. Good songs in, cocaine, travellin' light, and, hey baby. Cool stuff.
Best Track: Cocaine

A pretty good album to just chill out to. There are some great songs on here (Cocaine, Travellin' Light, Ride Me High) but much of the rest sound pretty much the same. Not at all in a bad way, though.
This album is so laid back and has some lovely grooves. It chugs along almost hypnotically the ideal record for that last bottle of red wine that you all regret the following day. Some great songs and playing though - JJ R.I.P.

Includes the classic Cocaine and another few powerful tracks but as an album it does not hold together very well. J.J. never managed to top the great Naturally from 1971, and the best buy in his catalog is the compilation The Very Best of, from 1998, which holds most of what is required listening by the king of laid back pickin'.
