Rating metrics: Help 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Good southern blues rock album with that classic Allman Brothers guitar. Really propped up by the strength of its big numbers Ramblin' Man and Jessica, though I also quite like Southbound and Come-and-Go Blues. (Edited)

There is definitely more of a jazz side to this album than I have heard on other releases and it works very effectively. Every track is pretty decent and there are some standouts in Jessica, Ramblin' Man, Southbound and Jelly Jelly. All of these stick to this jazz style very well and integrate the classic southern rock feel as well. It is so effective because of the instrumentation where there are some astounding performances. The two highlights for me are the piano which is phenomenal on Jelly Jelly and the guitar with both being consistently amazing on every track. The guitar solo on Jessica is stunning to hear every time I listen to it and is so good for air guitar. Overall, an under rated album with brilliant performances and if the other 3 cuts were better then this would be up there with some of the greatest.

Stood in HMV, Truro, Cornwall, UK, on HMV record store day with Caravan In The Land of Grey And Pink tucked under my arm, I got talking to a complete stranger who was equally enthusiastic about his pristine vinyl collection. So thank you to you stranger, for introducing me to a band I had never listened to before and for suggesting that I might like this, for sure I do! Worth having just for the Jazz/blues piano which really comes to life on Jelly Jelly and Southbound. Some superb lead guitar work adds to the experience. And, I never realised that Jessica is the theme tune for 'Top Gear'. Love it!!

Lyricism is a bit vague but solid instrumental work with the organ and guitar standing out in particular.

I like this a lot more than Fillmore East. It's a lot less Jazzy and more Country, which I guess is good for me at least.
