Zeb Turner （June 23, 1915 – January 10, 1978）was an American country music songwriter and guitarist,and pioneer of rockabilly. 　　He was born William Edward Grishaw in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States, and he renamed himself after a favorite piece of music, "The Zeb Turner Stomp".With his brother James （who took the stage name "Zeke Turner"）， also a guitarist, he backed artists such as Hank Williams and Red Foley in the years after World War II. He co-wrote "It's a Sin", a number one hit on the country chart for Eddy Arnold in 1947, with music publisher Fred Rose. Turner also recorded for small record labels such as Bullet and King Records;some of these were "country boogie" tunes which were influential on early rockabilly. His King Records version of Billy Briggs' "Chew Tobacco Rag" was a No. 8 jukebox country and western hit in 1951, while his own "Tennessee Boogie" had reached No. 11 on the same chart in 1949. 　　Later in the 1950s, Turner was a disc jockey on Baltimore and Washington radio stations.
