Albert Washington was an American blues and rhythm and blues singer, notable for his raw, emotive vocal style. Active from the late 1950s to the 1990s, Washington's music was deeply rooted in the blues tradition, often featuring guitar-driven melodies and deeply personal lyrics. Despite not achieving significant mainstream success, his recordings, particularly the well-regarded "Lonely Mountain" and "Rambling Mind," have had enduring influence in the blues and R&B genres. Washington's contributions to music, particularly within the Cincinnati blues scene, remain noteworthy.
