How are you doing out there in Marlboro country?

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker checks how someone is doing in a place dubbed 'Marlboro country'. The phrase gives the location a recognizable, stylized label rather than a precise address. Read as teasing, the question asks about an experience while gently commenting on the surroundings in which it happens.
