Format:Audio CD
There are some fine female singer /songwriters out there at the moment.Rosie Thomas,leona Naess, Thea Gilmore, Tina Dico,Ingrid Michaelson,Gemma Hayes to name just a few. Rachael sits firmly in this camp.I am biased, I love her voice!and her songwriting abilities.
I think this is a happier more contented album than the last "elephants...." although the songs in the main, are still about love and love lost.
If you are a fan you will buy this anyway,to those who haven't listened to her music, I would say to you,have a listen and see what you are missing!

Rachel's best
12 Dec 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Chesapeake is, by far, the very best CD that Rachel Yamagata has issued. The songs reflect her continuing love of "heartbreak" subjects, but there is enough variation in the songs so that your interest is maintained, no matter what type of music you like. The second song on he album is entitled Starlight, and I believe, it is the very finest song Rachel has written to this day. I have listened to it repeatedly and find its cadence to be unique and spiritually uplifting.
Buy this album, you will enjoy it.

This is what needed to happen
5 Nov 2011
Okay, we enjoyed Happenstance and dodged around the waters of Elephants but THIS is really what the RY fan has been waiting for - a much more approachable album that shows the range of talent, yet doesn't leave you wondering (too much).
I had the pleasure of hearing it live last week in Northampton, Mass., and both Rachael Yamagata and the exceptional band played most of the album and it is exquisite. The story behind the adventure of making this truly Indie record gives it the license for enjoyable listening. There's a definite degree of fun in the sound as well as the edge and the sultry depth.
This one is a winner and a keeper, whether in the car, home, or just chilling anywhere. The lyrics and songs are all solid here. And you'll want to play it more and more.

Al last her new record!!
21 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For someone who has been following Rachael Yamagata's solo career, Chesapeake has those lyrics and melodies that made her two previous records so memorable. She has a great talent to translate feelings and relationships into a song and this new effort is not different in that side. But this one has a lighter feel that mades it more accessible, not in a commercial way, but in a way it's easier to be in the mood to listen to it instead of her two other records. For listening from begining to end, this is her best.
If you already know Rachael, listen to Chesapeake and support her buying it, it'll be as worthy as always. If you don't know her, you are missing one hell of a talent.
Im'm eager to hear the two bonus tracks from the Uk edition (Heavyweight and It'll do).
