Folk Off! Pastoral Perfection for Pixie People by Jimmy Dread

A very personal ping-pong affair around folk in all its many wonderful guises - from trad to the folkiest of folk-rock, to folk-prog and a little American Primitivism, to what some bright spark decided to coin 'New Weird America'. Don't start splitting hairs about which of the listed is folk and which isn't (simple answer - it all is), although you might notice a slightly more trad-folk flavour to this list than in something like Norm's wonderful "Normlore" chart, to which this is a distant cousin separated by a mere 19 miles of water between Dover and Calais. Bon voyage, mes amies. Jimmy, May 2019

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart is rated in the top 2% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 90.8/100, a mean average of 92.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.5/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 10.0.

Absolutely fantastic chart brimming with some personal favourite of mine; I ran a folk radio show (named What the Folk??: Ballads From A Thin Man) at my uni last year and used this chart as for recommendations. The 'perfect for' descriptors is a lovely touch too ... great stuff!

@Jimmy Dread lol I even ctrl+f-ed it, guess I misspelt. Fantastic LP. Another thing just came to my mind, Willard Grant Conspiracy's Let It Roll, it's more like americana/folk stuff but great nonetheless. Check it if you haven't already.
I'll say it once again though, great idea and chart :)

Effing cool. Very personal and honest and eccentric. I’d recommend Forest by a band called Forest, it’s what I imagine “Pixie people” would listen to lol

Great title. And you've got Jose Gonzalez in there. I'll have to check out some of the many I've never heard of. Thanks.
