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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

Fantastic folk-jazz fusion. Elements of Van Morrison, Nick Drake, and a tinge of more American oriented folk. Walker's voice is sharp and clear, cutting through the loose arrangements as the one clear indicator of melody and structure.
Just a fascinating listen.

Good music - maybe Van Morrison?!
I would say more like Tim Buckley. sure some Van Morrison and a little bit Jethro Tull in between.
Love Ryley Walker. Reminds me of one of my all time great musical heroes, John Martyn

Che splendida sorpresa è stato questo Ryley Walker ! "Primrose Green" dalla copertina ricorda "His band and the street choir" di Van Morrison, ma poi ascoltando il disco il riferimento principale, quasi unico anzi, è un altro: John Martyn.
