Richard was only 17 when he did 'Blow by Blow'! He chose not to tour the album as he felt he needed a rest at the time (he was busy with other projects), so Bernard Purdie stepped in for a month or so of touring with Beck. Richard did only a couple tracks on 'Wired', the bulk of the rest (as well as writing and even a bit of piano) being handled by current Beck drummer Narada Michael Walden. Richard would spend years with Incognito then move over to Stevie Winwood a couple or so years ago.
Great drummer. I heard that Beck chose not to tour with him, despite his stellar performance on BBB. He felt that he wouldn't have the power to project in a live setting. But he sounds just fine here.
Great drummer!! Blow by Blow is pretty hard to top for funk drumming.
Yes, that's the same Richard Bailey. A very underrated drummer, if i may say so myself.

He was actually 15 when recording BBB.

I never understood that. That’s why we have mic’s and PA’s.
Beck just blew it..
See Richard on Rhead Brothers Woman of Soul video. Great player, lovely guy.
He's a super nice guy too!
MYCHERRYJUICE - thanks for that info! Very cool!
The Richard Bailey of Jeff Beck Wired fame?
Blow by Blow fame - Narada played on most of the Wired tracks. I think Bailey played on 2 tracks.
