Masterpiece
As a true fan of Byrds-music I was often a little disappointed with the solo efforts of Roger McGuinn, because the musicians who played on his albums did not always seem to understand where he comes from, or they didn't tune in to his music. This album is the exception: the chemistry works really well here, having such helpers as Tom Petty, Elvis Costello and Dave Stewart on his side. Superb production combines with jangling guitar work, majestic vocal harmonies and a well chosen bunch of songs: "King Of The Hill" is a true classic and would sound great on any Byrds record. Still it has to be pointed out, that production becomes the major artform here, because that band never went out on the road to play. It's sort of a "virtual" Byrds-album so-to-speak, but a great one. Welcome back, "phantom" Jim McGuinn!P.S. The German cover is much more tasteful than that of the American issue. It seems to be trendy today to make a mockery out of certain flower children.

If you love Roger McGuinn! If you love the Byrds! If you are a big fan of the 60's Echo Canyon sound. You have no choice but to own this album.

A friend of mine gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday last month. Being as how Roger Mcguinn of The Byrds is my favourite long time recording artist, I looked up this site to see what was available in his CD recordings.
I bought Back From Rio when it first came out in casette. Now that I no longer have a casette player, I thought it would be nice to upgrade and get the CD so I can play, sing along and enjoy it while driving my van.

If you like the Byrds' sound, this is the McGuinn solo album to get. Loved it on Spotify....love it even more on vinyl. This LP was also very reasonably priced by the vendor.

In the mid 90's a lot of artists who had success in the 60s Came out with records that really cebrated their early success with albums That explicitly emulated their original sound. That is the case here. Mcguinn produced with Rio his most Byrd's sounding solo record. This I a gem and in my opinion this is his best record

Great Byrds sound from one of their founders. Lots of guest stars including Tom Petty and some of the Heartbreakers. Tom & Roger share vocals on King of the Hill, a song He and Petty wrote together.
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023
Packing a comeback project with a lot of big-name guests may look good on paper, but it rarely plays that well in reality. Case in point: Roger McGuinn's 1991 album, Back From Rio, a middling affair in the catalog of post-Byrds McGuinn solo efforts. Better than the pedestrian Roger McGuinn & Band and Thunderbyrd, but certainly not in the same class as the superior Roger McGuinn, Peace on You, or Cardiff Rose albums. Rio's playing and production is consistently fine, if a bit slick in the case of David Cole's production style. And the cast of players includes memorable names and faces from throughout his storied career (Byrds, McGuinn-Clark-Hillman), along with Heartbreakers, an Eagle, Desert Rose Band members, and acolytes like Elvis Costello and Michael Penn. Whew! Maybe it would've been better if they had kept it simple. Trouble is, the material isn't all that great. And to borrow a common reviewer's phrase: It's not the singer, it's the song. Costello's You Bowed Down and the McGuinn/Tom Petty co-write King of the Hill are the genuine keepers, the rest are mostly pleasant filler, but filler, nonetheless. Two winning tracks out of ten does not constitute a particularly good ratio. Still, worth checking out if you can find a reasonably priced copy. Three dimming stars and a mild recommendation, mainly for McGuinn / Byrds diehards and completists.

Got this at a Christmas party ( I asked for it ) and played the record endlessly. I love the title song Back From Rio, very catchy.

Super Album!!! Roger Mc Guinn in Höchstform. Und dann noch das Sahnehäubchen im Duett mit TOM PETTY (R.I.P.) King of the Hill!!! Mehr geht nicht. Meine absolute Kaufempfehlung!. Das Album ist jeden Cent wert.

The king of The Byrds returns from Rio
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2010
This album is a re-release from 1991, and a fine re-release it is too. 'Back From Rio' was McGuinn's first solo album in over a decade and is his best since his first ('Roger McGuinn'), perhaps even better. It certainly sees him at his most Byrd-like - his Rickenbacker playing is inspired (check out 'Car Phone' with its solos evocative of his 'Eight Miles High' best). The songs are all very strong and quite immediate (i.e. catchy), and the performances (from such luminaries as ex-Byrds Crosby and Hillman, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello and Eagle Timothy B. Schmit) are as excellent as you'd expect.
My particular favourites are 'You Bowed Down', 'King Of The Hill', 'The Trees Are All Gone' and the aforementioned 'Car Phone' ("He blew his mind out in a caaaaaarr"), but you'd be hard pushed to find a dud track on an album as fine as this.
I understand that following this album McGuinn returned to playing his first love, folk music and I must admit I haven't heard much of his stuff, but I'd love him to keep on making music as majestic as this.
The title, by the way comes from a jokey reply McGuinn gave out when, after changing his name from Jim to Roger in the 60's, people asked him where his 'brother' Jim had gone - "He's gone to Rio" he'd say.

Roger McQuinn-"Back from Rio".
Reviewed in Germany on December 28, 2014
Ein sehr kurzes Vergnügen (41Min) aber dafür wunderschön !! Das ist der Sound der Birds in Reinkultur. Als wäre die Zeit still gestanden, interpretiert Roger Mc Quinn Songs a la Mr Tamburine Man, Turn Turn,Won't be wrong....wie eben der Sound der Birds zwischen 1962 und 1966 war. Jeder der die Birds mag, sollte sich diese kurze Erinnerung an alte Zeiten gönne und sich diese CD zulegen.

... für Freunde von Tom Petty, der Byrds, der Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Manassas....
1991, wohl auch durch gutes Zureden von Tom Petty und Jeff Lynne, raffte sich der ehemalige Chef der Byrds noch einmal auf, ein Pop-Album aufzunehmen. Interessanterweise schaffte es der namens gebende Song der Drei nicht auf das Album.
Mit dabei waren diverse Mitglieder der Heartbreakers (Drummer Lynch, Gitarrist Campbell und Keyboarder Tench), Petty selbst, Elvis Costello, David Crosby, Chris Hillman und Timothy B. Schmit. Den Bass bediente Studio-Veteran George Hawkins (u.a. Fleetwood Mac, John Fogerty), zusätzliche Gitarren spielte John Jorgensen ein, der dreimalige Country-Gitarrist des Jahres und ehemaliges Mitglied der Desert Rose Band.
Musikalische Klasse war schon einmal gegeben, allerdings war Songwriting eigentlich nie die große Stärke von McGuinn. Drei Titel schrieb er mit seiner Frau, darunter auch den starken Opener "Someone To Love". Highlight ist allerdings "King Of The Hill", eine Kooperation mit Tom Petty und ein #2 Erfolg in den US-amerikanischen Mainstream Rock-Charts. Erwähnenswert auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) auf "Your Love Is A Goldmine" (auch ein guter Kumpel von Petty und Lynne, das erste Wilburys-Album entstand in Stewarts Heimstudio).
