notes
The February 2006 release from acclaimed Florida singer/songwriter Magda Hiller is indeed the icing on the cake. Produced by Jack Shawde who has performed, recorded or toured with Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield, Dr. John, Richie Havens, Stan Lynch (Tom Petty), Al Cooper (Blood Sweat & Tears), Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Superbly recorded in some very bizarre situations by Mark Thompson of Providence Road Remote Recording and Sound.
'Icing on the Cake' takes the listener through small town Florida, relationships, death, chickens, cockney rhyme & slang ('Dog 'n' Bone'-phone), a hurricane, the plusses of having a father and stepfather and mindlessness. With music ranging from folk-pop to fingerstyle to jazz, blues and country-folk, with 'icing' from Jack Shawde-guitars, Diane Ward-drums and backing vocals, Debbie Duke-bass and Matt Schuler-trumpet. 'Icing on the Cake' is by far Hiller's best effort to date.
This Little Silver Records (indie) 15 song cd is a sure thing for the fan of the acoustic, well produced, intelligent singer/songwriter.

Magda is a hidden gem...
author: JonathanMadga's voice, whit and music combine to make this cd a charming, inviting and warm experience. She has the ability to make you laugh, ponder, and, for me, sit back, relax and enjoy a good story. I strongly encourage you to come see her sometime in DeLand at the Cafe da Vinci. It's easy to get nostalgic for her music...even if it's the first time you've heard her sing...that's real magic. Well, here's the obligatory reviewing part: is she folk, blues, rhythm 'n' blues, country? I guess she's all of those things. No, it's not "fusion"; please stop with the labels! She manages to transcend them all though, and does so beautifully. Thanks for the music, Magda.
