Brian Wilson will release a companion DVD to this year's California-themed album That Lucky Old Sun early next year. Also titled That Lucky Old Sun, the DVD features a full live performance of the album at Capitol Studios and a feature-length documentary called Going Home, about the making of the record and Wilson's return to Capitol Records.

The DVD also features a track-by-track commentary on the live performance from Wilson and songwriting partner Scott Bennett, behind-the-scenes footage from the That Lucky Old Sun recording sessions, Wilson's "Black Cab Sessions" set, a performance and audience Q&A recorded for Yahoo! Music, and an interview with Zooey Deschanel as part of MySpace's "Artist on Artist" series.

Extensive commentary and interviews, huh? That should be interesting.

Capitol/EMI will release the That Lucky Old Sun DVD on January 27.

Wilson's only scheduled appearance right now is at the premiere of the yet-to-open GRAMMY Museum's "An Evening With" series on January 15. Museum Executive Director Robert Santelli will interview Wilson, and then Wilson will perform "a few songs," according to a press release.
