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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.0/100, a mean average of 85.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

This is a really good track. Solid country rock. Mick's vocal performance make me chuckle whenever I listen to the song.
This song and Moonlight Mile are both criminally underrated.

Awesome song! I don't like country, but the Stones do it with such wit. This is near perfect.
A great little country number. It's nothing amazing and like a lot of Rolling Stones 'country' numbers it's never taken too seriously. Still, it's an enjoyable track, and though a little lightweight it does keep up the album's many drug references. Good song.
i love this song
