Taupin

Taupin is lyricist Bernie Taupin's first solo album. It is a spoken word album of his poetry. Taupin is well known for his collaboration with Elton John writing the lyrics to the vast majority of songs on his albums, and he worked with the same musicians John used on his albums in order to create his own. Gus Dudgeon produced the album and Steve Brown coordinated it.
