“We just wish more people would just get vaccinated so we could operate at full speed,” continues Malo, speaking by phone from Nashville where The Mavericks are recording new songs at the famed Blackbird Studio. “If you need any proof that vaccination works, look at us: We’ve been on the road six months, and we’re all vaccinated, all boosted and all healthy. But I had a dear friend, an anti-vaxxer, who died last Sunday from COVID. We’d had discussions about it, and I pleaded with him to get vaccinated. Next thing I know, I get a call from his wife, who’s now his widow.”
