Artist Biography by Steve Kurutz
- Born as William Grishaw, honky tonk guitarist Zeb Turner took his name from his best-loved composition, the "Zeb Turner Stomp." Turner
first turned up on wax as a member of the Hi Neighbor Boys on the
American Record Label in 1938, but he soon left the group to join forces
with his brother James who took the stage name of Zeke Turner. The Turner brothers played guitar on many sessions shortly after WWII, turning up on records by Red Foley and Hank Williams and writing Eddy Arnold's 1947 hit, "It's a Sin." In addition to lending his country boogie guitar work to others, Zeb Turner
often recorded in his own right on small, regional labels such as
Nashville's Bullet Records and, later, Cincinnati's King Records. Though
he never enjoyed mainstream success, Turner did have a long career, eventually ending up as a folksinger in Montreal.
