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 albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Linda Ronstadt es una de las grandes voces de la música popular y es difícil elegir entre sus discos de los 70. Heart Like A Wheel es mi favorito.
Ronstadt wears her influences on her sleeves, recording songs made famous by Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, Little Feat and the Everly Brothers. She also includes a nice selection from singer-songwriters Paul Craft, James Taylor, JD Souther and Anna McGarrigle.
The nice selection of songs is enhanced by spirited vocal performances and simple, slick production. A real winner and influencial album in the country-pop genre.
Recommended.
A Side: You're No Good
B Side: Willin'

Such a strong selection of songs that you might almost miss that this is essentially a country album.
This is a great record. Ms. Ronstadt hit home run with this one. The production and choice of material are perfect for her voice. A classic!
Always loved this album. MEZ

'Willing' came on the radio this morning...such a great recording of the Little Feat song. Don't let the single "You're no good" fool you..not a great song, but the rest of the album is classic.

This is really a country album and did better on the country charts than the American pop charts...For what this is, I think that it is a great album, much better than the ones she did for Elektra/Asylum..listen to "Willing" and especially "Faithless love", it broke my heart. I think that when she finds the right song, it works for me...her best song however, is "Rambler Gambler", a 45 only, the B side of that awful "How do I make you". One of the all time best tracks...Perfect for riding the range...
