Kid Bailey was a Mississippi delta bluesman. His one known recording session occurred on September 25, 1929 in Memphis Tennessee. He collaborated with Charley Patton and a circle of Delta blues musicians who swapped melodies, riffs, and lyrics during the late 1920s and early 30s such as Son House and Tommy Johnson just to name a few.

Little is known about Bailey. His voice had a distinctly course yet youthful quality. Two of his recordings have survived: Rowdy Blues and Mississippi Bottom Blues in most digital releases. The tracks are attributed to Willie Brown yet one evidently the same artist created as Kid Bailey on the original 78-RPM recordings.
