Known as "The Singing Barman" Joe Turner worked early on in his career at a number of Kansas City venues. At one such club The Sunset managed by Piney Brown, Turner along with his piano accompanist Pete Johnson became resident performers and wrote "Piney Brown Blues" in their bosses honor.
Turner first recorded the song with Pete Johnson for the Decca label in November 1940.
