I forgot to update this. I heard Wilson and his new backup band on WFMU last year and my fears were largely unfounded. Yes, a lot of it was older material but played (and sung) in a fresh way, and there were good new tracks (the opening instrumental reminded me of the theme from the '60s TV show Ironside). I just ordered Wilson's 25-years-later followup CD Forgotten Lovers and am greatly looking forward to hearing it.
