Justin Furstenfeld - Open Book Winter Album
Review by Jennifer Ellis
The Open Book Winter Album by Justin Furstenfeld is a powerful and emotional collection of songs that showcase the singer-songwriter's talent and depth. From the haunting "Winter" to the upbeat "Home," each track is a testament to Furstenfeld's ability to tell a story and evoke emotion through his music.
The album is a departure from Furstenfeld's work with his band, Blue October, but it still has the same raw honesty and vulnerability that fans have come to expect from him. The acoustic arrangements and stripped-down production allow the lyrics to take center stage, and Furstenfeld's voice is as powerful as ever.
One standout track is "Graceful Dancing," a haunting ballad that showcases Furstenfeld's range and ability to convey complex emotions through his music. Another highlight is "Fear," a powerful song about overcoming anxiety and finding strength in the face of adversity.

Notes
- Features acoustic versions of 19 songs from one of Justin Furstenfeld's (Blue October) legendary one man shows “An Open Book". Beautifully crafted and thoughtfully performed fan favorites reflecting on important moments on his journey. A listening experience that relates to a feeling of reading someone you care for's personal diary.
- From a beautifully fragile love song Justin wrote in high school (Morning Everything) to songs like Graceful Dancing that remind us while we may not always have the answers we can overcome what challenges us by bravely moving forward. Breakfast After 10 a story of a love that's lost and still longing "you've got to make her know how it feels to miss you” and the emotional freedom one feels when you finally find the courage to move on. An acoustic version of the timeless platinum selling classic Into the Ocean. History For Sale's gem Ugly Side and a precious reminder to cherish what’s most important to us in Home.
- The Open Book winter Album is must have record for those who enjoy the lost art of story telling in song.
- "Dedicated to Alan Adams. I'm proud of you bro."
