Artist picture
Our sound has been described as "Electric Delta Blues."
"The Robert Herndon Project (RHP) is a Hardcore Blues Band born out of a never ending struggle for self-expression. A former studio musician in Southern California durng the halcyon days of hard rock in the 1980s, RHP was formed in 2010 by Robert Herndon after 20 years of absence from the music scene. During a recent interview with a Dutch radio program, Herndon said, "When I heard Albert King for the first time back in 1975, I was blown away by the level of emotion that he packed into his music. I was bullied as a kid and was never really able to express myself. The blues gave me an outlet for the pain and frustration I felt during my childhood. It encouraged me to pursue the blues and I've been playing ever since."

Story behind the song
I have always loved Albert King and this song in particular, so I am obliged to include it on my new album...
Lyrics
(these are our version of the lyrics that reflects our arrangement) Born under a bad sign I been down since I begin to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't haaaaave no luck at all Hard luck and trouble Been my only friend I been on my own Ever since I was ten Born under a bad sign I been down since I begin to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't haaaaaaave no luck at all I can't read never learned how to write My whole life has been One big fight Born under a bad sign I been down since I begin to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't haaaaaaaave no luck at all You ain’t laughin’ now are you!!! ... (solo) I wouldn't haaaaaave no luck at all Wine and women Been all I crave Seems like this living gonna put me in the grave, yeah... Born under a bad sign Born under a bad sign Born under a bad sign Born under a bad sign
