coming soon  $3.00 + 1.25 shipping (US)
Shane's newest zine of illustrated lyrics, Drive, She Said.  Forty page underground magazine (aka "zine") features familiar lyrics from his many albums along with unreleased songs.  Each song is paired up with one of Speal's photographs taken from a toy camera he stashes in his car glove compartment. 

Black and white lo-fi goodness meets Speal's contemplative lyrics.  If there was ever a "coffee table zine," this is it.  Glossy pics and classic layout, yet stapled by hand and primal as hell.

Uncle Enos review by the Wave Project
"The most intriguing zines are infused with passion : in the writing, subject matter, layout, design and energy. Uncle Enos exudes passion from cover to back page, passion for music and life. Since its arrival in my mailbox, I have been immersed in reading the fascinating articles within.

The cover of Uncle Enos announces "the lo-fi voice of the Prim Rock underground". Uncle Enos is full of information related to DIY music, cigar box guitars & related instruments, recordings, forgotten heroes, building projects, artwork. I was thrilled to find an artcile about the creation of the Trees Community box set. Ecstatic to learn about Willie Joe Duncan and wondering how I can hear the Unitar. Mesmerized by Timothy Renner's artwork.

Reading zines should be an experience of discovery. Every page of Uncle Enos was a discovery for me. Thank you, Shane, for taking it deep & creating this incredible first (and hopefully not last) issue."
