SUPER CIRCUIT MAN -W Ross Campbell (SOCAN)

BAD COP SONG - W Ross Campbell There's a rotten apple in every platoon 'N' our police department in Saskatoon's got a son-of-a-bitch He'll break the laws of human rights 'N bust some head on a summer's night just to scratch his itch He's riding on a psychopathic power trip He's going for the Macho Moron championship So watch out for this dangerous psych and Thank God every cop's not like Bad Cop, John Bad Cop Now, some cops work an 8 hour day 'N' next to plumbers they get lousy pay--don't get no tips So if you're on the street downtown Be careful you don't get shaken down just for kicks If the Police Commission knew how John behaves every day They'd cut off all his buttons & take his badge away So watch out for this dangerous psych and thank God every cop's not like John Bad Cop It seems to me there's nothing just about Hunting 'round for teens to bust--don't it make you sad? This kind of guy should never be Put in a position of authority--he'll abuse it bad Each time we let a nut like him walk around as a cop He'll mess up people's lives 'n' then the shit won't stop Friends, many of you might ask yourselves: "What can I do when faced with this kind of Injustice?" Well, there's only one answer: Not a damn thing! But even though we may feel powerless as individuals There are certain universal principles Which come to bear on scenes like this and give us hope For while a Bad Cop'll never feel remorse About illegal searches & the use of force We can just let Karma take it's course I'm talking about Karma, in it's own good time

Hoedown Love Dance On The Breeze Ross Campbell grew up in Calgary, known as Cowtown, and he probably could have made a lot more money with his music if he had just put on a Cowboy Hat and played 3-chord country songs. But that’s just not what he was driven to do. However, being a violinist first, Ross always loved the sound and the lilt of good old Hoedown Fiddles, so he decided to add a Funky Bottom End to create a new Hybrid Country Rock Groove which he calls "Hoedown Funk".

Bilingual Love Entre Chien Et Loup The saying Entre Chien Et Loup, or Between Dog and Wolf, a metaphor for Between Day and Night, has a history in both French & English languages. Dusk, this song tells us, seems to be a lovely & appropriate time for Making Love with your Sweetie Entre Chien Et Loup 00:00 / 04:53 If you like this song, you can DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE HERE DOWNLOAD LYRICS VIDEO In the 1970's, a friend of Ross Campbell's operated David's Dulcimer Works in Alberta and gifted Ross with an Appalachian lap dulcimer, of the kind made famous by Joni Mitchell. (In fact, Joni once used Ross's dulcimer for a concert in Saskatoon when all her equipment was sidelined by a paralyzing prairie blizzard.) A traditional Appalachian dulcimer can play in only a very few keys, so Ross took his gift back to David to get a fourth string and 3 new frets added so that he can play it in minor keys and use extended jazz chords on it. That instrument, one of Ross's favourites, forms the musical foundation for this song. Ross added several Violin & Viola parts to flesh out the orchestration in verses two & three. Instead of a sweet little violin solo, Ross decided to add an edgy viola solo instead. Ross also performs on Guitar, and is provided with a subtle & effective Bottom End by Dale Ladouceur on Bass & Bill Hobson on Drums, both of Edmonton's Crowtown Productions, where the song was produced.
