Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Scotty Morris – HuffPost 9.5.12

Mike Ragogna: Scotty, especially after your twentieth anniversary, what is your advice for new artists?

Scotty Morris: Stick to your guns. The one thing that you can pretty much always count on is that heat rises. That’s a given in life thing. You always know when a song is going to work because when you bring it out, it works right away. I’ve written too many songs and brought them onto the bandstand and had them not work to know that you bring one up for whatever reason and everybody responds to it, that’s when you know you’ve got something. Heat rises. Get out there and walk it and talk it and don’t be afraid to be who you are and go out there and do it. Don’t do anything because you think it will sell. Go out there because it makes you feel good.

MR: Heat rises.

SM: Indeed it do.
