    With the warm, organic production allowing his songs to reach their full potential, ‘For The First Time, Again’ deserves to be a slow-burn success.

    Selecting highlights feels like a fool’s errand. Ballgame’s ballads (“You’re Not My Baby Tonight,” “Goodbye My Love”) soar gracefully. .... The higher-tempo numbers are equally effective.

    By the time the 12-song set closes on the lively, horns-injected "Waiting So Long," it's clear that Ballgame's got the goods and the charisma, and that he found an ideal crew (or they found him) to put his music in its best incandescent light.
