Praise for Egyptian Motherlode:

“In its wildest moments, Egyptian Motherlode reads like an apocalyptic mixup of Tananarive Due and Robert Anton Wilson. The research is impeccable, and the clear-eyed, revisionist view of the sixties is most welcome.”

—Lewis Shiner, author Outside the Gates of Eden

“Egyptian Motherlode is beautiful and loud. Psychedelic and surreal. It flows through the landscape of twentieth century music like the river of the dead, summoning ancient gods and chasing down lost volumes of occult knowledge, until every note is perfect, and we’re all singing along at full volume. This book has soul.”

—Josh Rountree, author of The Legend of Charlie Fish

“Egyptian Motherlode is a psychedelic trip through musical history, where reality twists itself to the lives and dreams of the musicians who wove blues, jazz, rock, and funk into our world’s fabric.”

—Jason Sanford, author of Plague Birds

“With Egyptian Motherlode, Sandner and Weisman lay out a mosaic that is two parts music, three parts magic and one part charming mythological romp across time. Fans of literary, musical fantasy will be delighted.”

—Ken Scholes, author of the Psalms of Isaak series

“David Sandner & Jacob Weisman blend their voices beautifully into an organic whole that reminds me of the tonality of John Kessel or Karen Joy Fowler.”
