He Who Rides the Tiger is the 1980 second solo album by longtime Elton Johnlyricist, Bernie Taupin. It is his follow-up effort following his 1971 spoken word album Taupin. Taupin co-wrote all the songs in the album with the Buckinghams former guitarist Dennis Tufano and sang lead vocals in all of them. Although the album was recorded during a time when John and Taupin had interrupted their collaboration, John lent backing vocals on "Love (The Barren Desert)". The album was re-released on CD by American Beat Records on March 10, 2009.
In the review of May 3, 1980 Billboard critics said that the album's "biggest strength lies in his lyrics." They also found that "Taupin isn't a bad vocalist" (but sometimes "become a bit too stagnant") and praised "the aid of Elton and other supporting singers."[1]
