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
Originally written in the 1970's, 'Crazy Lizzy' first appeared as a country song on Haze's 1983 Morada Records release. The album was produced by Jim Shaw in Bakersfield, CA., and featued music by Jim Shaw's "Special Guests." Contract agreements, still in effect, prevent us from identifying the artists that performed on the track by name. However, the drums tracks were performed by the late Robert 'Bobby' Gallardo, a member of Merle Haggards group. The song chronicles the real-life events of Haze's childhood friend, Lizzy, who lost her mind after a failed love relationship. The song was re-arranged as a blues tune in March of 2011 and recorded along with the remainder of our album 'Hardcore Blues.' Nita Jo Haze appears as a guest vocalist.
