Jimmy McDonough

He is best known for his biographies of Russ Meyer, Andy Milligan, Tammy Wynette, Al Green, and Neil Young.

In addition to the aforementioned biographies, McDonough has authored profiles on Jimmy Scott, Gary Stewart,[6] Hubert Selby, Jr., the Ormond family[7] and Link Wray,[8] and over the span of his career he has written for a number of publications including: The Village Voice, Film Comment, and Variety.

[12] This book appears to be just as contentious as his previous works, with one early reviewer declaring that "McDonough presents himself as someone who, like Green, simply does not give a fuck about what others think.

"[13] In 2017, McDonough (along with his cat Buster) became an animated character in the two-part episode on George Jones and Tammy Wynette for Mike Judge's Tales From the Tour Bus.

From 2018 to 2022 McDonough was Editor-in-Chief of byNWR.com, where he contributed lengthy profiles on Texas honky-tonk singer Frankie Miller, Wayne Cochran, Gary Stewart, carnival star Georgette Dante, Margaret Doll Rod, Tammy Faye Starlite, and the women in Texas exploitation director Dale Berry's films, as well as hosting a podcast on Mississippi preacher Estus Pirkle and the films he made with Ron Ormond.
