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 75.6/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.3.

Possibly even better than the first album. This is a lovely record with great songs including a wonderful version of Neil Young's, after the gold rush. All good stuff, in fact.
I love these 3 ladies as individual artists, especially Linda Ronstadt, the music they create together is truly wonderful. Their first trio album is regarded as their best but this for me is just slightly stronger. The Ronstadt leads Blue Train, High Sierra & Feels Like Home are brilliant. Emmylou gives a great rendition of You'll Never Be The Sun and Dolly takes the lead on her own song Do I Ever Cross Your Mind. They also take Neil Young's After The Gold Rush and take it to a new level the harmonies throughout the album are spine tingling.
