Judy Mowatt: Mowatt's Winding Path To Success
Don Snowden, Los Angeles Times, 13 February 1986
JUDY MOWATT'S Working Wonders album has received a Grammy nomination, but that isn't the only reason she'll remember the record. A succession of studio disasters – including an exploding drum machine and a malfunctioning tape machine – turned the sessions into a nightmare, and caused a year's delay in the LP's release.
