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 has a Bayesian average rating of 64.6/100, a mean average of 63.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

El disco de Neil Young más cercano a la tradición country. Extraordinario.
Old Ways came out at the peak of Neil Young's struggles with Geffen Records in the 1980s. I actually enjoy this album. Young obviously experimented with country on earlier albums, but never on this level. Its definitely not a top tier release for Neil, but there are plenty of enjoyable tracks here. I'm actually surprised that the duet with Willie Nelson Are There Anymore Real Cowboys didn't become a country hit just because of the magnitude of the stars involved. Waylon Jennings also provides backing vocals to several songs and eventually gets a duet in Bound for Glory.

Neil Young dabbles further than he ever has into country, and I have to say Old Ways is just fine. It's a perfectly good country album. He's not breaking any new ground, and the production is very 80s country, but there are actually a couple highlights on this thing (The Wayward Wind, Once an Angel, Misfits). If you have a very strong distaste for country, steer clear of this one, but if you're a longtime fan of Neil Young, you know he has a sort of affinity for the genre. He pulls it off well enough too.

He recorded 5 albums for Geffen in the 1980's this IMO is the best. Not a great Young album but better than its current position (40th out of 55) As the title suggests it is a folk/country album. Misfits and Bound for Glory are the best tracks.
