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 artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 15.1.

In my opinion the greatest singer-/songwriter ever! Great guitar player, vocalist & live entertainer. Pure class!
If you're looking for that rich melancholy in a song then you won't go too far wrong checking out the likes of 'Fire And Rain', 'Long Ago And Far Away' and 'You Can Close Your Eyes'

There's more to James Taylor than radio-friendly schlock. Take another look - he's a quality singe/songwriter.
