Ray Wylie Hubbard summed it up best: “It’s rude, crude, and jail-tattooed… I dig it!” The track is a gritty anthem for uncertain times, capturing the chaos of modern life with biting humor and undeniable groove. And that’s just the beginning.
About the Album: S.O.S. TEXASmarina-rocks-sos-texas-album-artwork ‌Marina Rocks—Texan native, world traveler, and modern-day troubadour—blends Americana, Texas boogie, country rock, bluegrass, and even reggae across 11 dynamic tracks. Her third LP is her most fearless yet, peeling back the layers of personal and cultural unrest while never losing sight of melody or meaning.
From the reggae shuffle of “Mind’s Eye” to the cinematic intimacy of “The Hollywood Sign” and the soulful instrumentals “I Don’t Know” and “Starlight,” Marina’s artistry shines in every note. But it’s in her lyrics where the power hits hardest—raw, real, and beautifully unfiltered.
“There’s a lot going on in the world—and in the music biz,” says Marina. “Sometimes you’ve got to call it like you see it. That’s what this album does.” The Backstory Behind “It’s All Messed Up”Inspired by a friend’s true story—featuring a high-speed truck ride, a woman jumping out with a baby squirrel in her purse, and a surreal police drop-off two weeks later—Marina crafts a vivid picture of life’s absurdities. “That’s just all f...ed up,” her friend said. The phrase stuck—and became a rallying cry.
Final Track Highlight: “One More Song”Anchoring the album is “One More Song,” a spiritual, Paul Simon-meets-Ry Cooder ballad that reminds us what truly matters. Marina reprises the tune to close out the album—a hopeful signpost for the road ahead.
“Marina Rocks’ S.O.S. Texas is a genre-blending journey through heartfelt narratives and dynamic rhythms, showcasing her exceptional songwriting and instrumental skills.” (The Guitar Girl)
