Review

On their second record Full Sail, Chesapeake combine elements of folk, country and pop music. Their diverse influences are reflected in their choice of cover material, which includes Little Feat's "Let It Roll," Ricky Skaggs' "One Way Track," Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind" and Steve Gillette's "Sweet Melinda." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
