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 wrote the words and music to this song in February, 1998, following a dream in which Robert Johnson appeared to me and told me his life story. The song was laid down on a cassette tape and then was untouched for over 10 years. In 2011, I re-arranged the song and it was recorded at 7-9-6 Studios on March 23, 2011.
