Picture in a Tear is that rarest of debut albums: a mature, assured work that delivers as much as it promises. While no one can foresee the future with any certainty, it seems reasonably safe to predict big things for Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz. With this much talent on board -- two compelling lead singers who are also prolific songwriters, one of acoustic music's leading guitarists, and an energetic mandolin-banjo team that neatly fuses the old with the new -- this intriguing and versatile quintet is built for the long haul.' --Jon Hartley Fox
