Selections from Road to Rio is a studio album of phonograph records by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters. It was released in 1948. It features songs that were presented in the American comedy film Road to Rio.

Reception

[edit]

Billboard reviewed it saying:

Two disk album featuring three novelty tunes and one ballad from the latest Crosby-Hope flicker, Road to Rio, is directly aimed at the film fan market, with release date timed to coincide with national showing of pic. Previously out as single platters, all four tunes enjoyed some success with Crosby's "But Beautiful" ballad easily taking top honors. Bing's "Language" with the Andrews Sisters will probably gain new popularity once public ganders gals and the groaner sell it on the screen.[1]
