about

"god's empty chair" (a quote from a Jack Kerouac novel) is
Becki diGregorio's second album.

A collection of edgy pop, powerful rock, dreamy ambient, and Moroccan-tinged offerings that invites the listener into the mind
of a songwriter trying to find the long way home.

"Becki's search for truth is never far from the surface of her intensely personal songwriting. The CD cover offers an epigraph from the Zen poet Ryokan: 'If you want to find the meaning, stop chasing after so many things.' In a very real way, the songs on 'God's Empty Chair' each explore and inform this no-mind principle: From the protective mother of 'Supplication' to the opiated dreamer of 'Laudanum' to Susan herself, revolving there, a new world forming inside her head,
all the characters introduced by these songs inhabit a universe in which all striving is folly and solace is to be found in quietness, sanity and love."

~ Harrison Sherwood

(Mr. Sherwood wrote the liner notes to XTC's box set
"Coat Of Many Cupboards")

Produced by Vince Sanchez & Becki diGregorio.
All songs written by Becki except "Susan Revolving" written by
Andy Partridge of XTC.
