Jimmy McDonough

Jimmy McDonough is a journalist and biographer. He is perhaps best known for his biographies of Russ Meyer, Andy Milligan and Neil Young. [ [http://www.slate.com/id/2066240/ An uncomprising online review of the Young biography by Slate magazine can be found here] ] He is noted by critics for his remarkably exhaustive accounts and for his tendency to avoid romanticizing his subjects' lives. For this reason, he was described by "The Times" as "a literary Terminator". [http://www.randomhouse.com/anchor/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780679750963 --"Shakey: Neil Young's Biography," written by Jimmy McDonough Retrieved March 9, 2007.] In addition to the aforementioned biographies, McDonough has authored profiles on Jimmy Scott, Gary Stewart, Hubert Selby, Jr., the Ormond family and Link Wray, among others. Over the span of his career he has written for a number of publications including: "The Village Voice", "Film Comment", "Variety", and "Juggs".

He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest where he is dividing his time between 3D photography (his hobby) and work on his new biography of Tammy Wynette.
