Bull City Red (February 19, 1917 – October 1958) was a blues washboard player and sometime guitarist who is best known for his collaborations with Blind Boy Fuller. Very little is known about Washington, whose predominant nickname, Bull City Red is a reference to Durham, North Carolina, where he lived most of his life. Washington was also sometimes billed as Oh Red.
