2017 release from the Blue October vocalist. Features acoustic versions of 19 songs from one of Justin Furstenfeld's 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. An acoustic version of the timeless platinum selling classic 'Into the Ocean'. The Open Book Winter Album is must-have record for those who enjoy the lost art of storytelling in song.

Basically, I'm biased.
To be honest, I will love anything and everything that Blue October and/or Justin Furstenfeld will put out. If this had been a full-on Christmas album with his version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", I would have sworn up and down that this was THE BEST VERSION EVER.

This man is absolutely the best.
I recommend this record without hesitation. This man sings with so much emotion. If you have followed him from his worst up until today, you will understand how he paints his songs. AMazing talent.

Will not disappoint
So beyond beautiful.... Justin's voice is simply stunning. You can feel the heart and soul in this album (and all others) .... "Home" will be my wedding song.....

I like most blue October and Justin's stuff
This is acoustic and a more mellow album. I like most blue October and Justin's stuff, but particularly enjoyed this album.

Interesting
If you like everything Justin does, you will be pleased. If you're looking for solid, completed work (not acoustic) this isnt for you. With that said, as a fan, I do enjoy it. Not on "heavy rotation" but I listen to it.

Love it!!
As a huge Blue October fan I find this album satisfying
