Jimmy McDonough has written well-reviewed books about Neil Young, Tammy Wynette, and Al Green, all in his trademark “two-fisted” style. He has a reputation for writing biographies with the punch, panache, and flash of a pulp fiction novelist, and he puts that to work here as tells the story of late, great honky-tonk legend Gary Stewart. While his name might not be household, Stewart is considered one of music’s great unsung heroes, and McDonough takes us through his hits and his eventual disappearance from the scene.
