“When I rode into Nashville, I was high on my horse,” Marina Rocks purrs on “S.O.S.,” setting the tone for everything that follows. One can imagine this singer and guitarist riding a horse into a new town, instrument slung over her back, whistling a Spaghetti Western ditty while all the locals stop and stare. We’re half-kidding, but her Americana-infused blues-rock fits that vibe. She exudes an air of effortless cool and dusty authenticity, while she’s also a gifted songwriter and emotive vocalist. “It’s All Messed Up” is a lively way to open S.O.S. Texas, her third LP. Overall, there’s much to love.
