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)

What immediately stood out to me with this song is how much it sounds like early John Lennon may have been influenced by the vocal styling and the approach on guitar.
Personally, this is a standout on this record.
This one was a favorite of Elvis' father Vernon. That's why Elvis' still sang it at his last concerts.

More great vocals by The King! The guitar playing is some of the best on this album.
I like the variety of lyrics in this song.
