Does size matter? Dynamite comes in small packages and Marina Rocks is a sexy blond that weighs in at a mere 100 lb. + tax. The size that matters here is the size of Marina's heart. It is as big as Texas! And Texas just happens to be her born-and-raised-in home state. Her super-sized heart beats in the chest of a beautiful, young woman possessed! She is on a mission- a mission to open your mind and simultaneously rock your world.
About the album
After devouring tutorials for audio and video Marina taught herself to record and edit music videos; this effort would result in the release of her fourth album: Austin to Houston as well as the feel-good music video Joy Ride! The title and many of the songs are informed by and reflect on her journey from her native Austin, Texas to her adopted home town of Houston.
In addition to engineering the recording, Marina sang all the parts and played almost all the instruments. She did enlist the help of some trusted friends on percussion, bass guitar and pedal steel guitar. Bass tracks were cut by fellow Texans Aden Buebeck and Alex Rodriguez. Percussion by Pat Manske who also mixed and mastered Austin To Houston at his Zone studio in Dripping Springs, Texas. Additional mastering was done by Nick Landis in Austin, Texas.
Grammy award-winning and Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee Lloyd Maines plays pedal steel and is featured on track number four entitled 'Shine'. You may know of Lloyd who produced The Dixie Chicks first Grammy winning album of the year entitled 'Home'. Lloyd's stellar performance on Marina's Austin To Houston album, is Marina's third album Lloyd has played on.
The new album Austin To Houston result is a spontaneous and challenging body of work that holds up under repeated listening and stands up to critical comparisons with even the great, recognized practitioners of the songwriting craft. The compositions are shining examples of epic story-telling delivered by the writer/performer with unwavering conviction and a fire-in-the-belly ferocity. The up-tempo selections often deal with social issues. The ballads are the real hidden treasures. Even after you hear them several times and familiarity sets in, the hook-laden ballads still have the power and reach and catch you off your emotional guard
