Back from Rio is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter and guitarist Roger McGuinn (co-founder of The Byrds) . It was released in January 1991, more than a decade after McGuinn's previous solo album, Thunderbyrd. The album features vocal contributions from ex-Byrds members David Crosby and Chris Hillman. Also prominent on the album are Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, with Petty co-authoring and duetting with McGuinn on the album's lead single "King of the Hill". In addition, several members of the Heartbreakers provide musical backing on a number of the album's tracks. Other prominent songwriters on the album—besides McGuinn and his wife Camilla—are Elvis Costello, Jules Shear and Dave Stewart (the latter of the Eurythmics).
