While TV audiences watched her on "Justified" and "House of Lies" over the past decade, actress Alicia Witt was also writing songs. Now, the actress and musician has a debut album, "Revisionary History."

"History" was recorded, appropriately enough, at one of Nashville's most historic studios: RCA Studio A. The studio's owner — piano-pop star Ben Folds — produced the album, played several instruments and provided backing vocals.

Witt — who got her start in acting at age 7 in David Lynch's "Dune" — will be back in Music City on Thursday to perform at the High Watt (1 Cannery Row). Tickets are $12 and on sale at www.mercylounge.com
