Taupin is lyricist Bernie Taupin's first solo album. It is a spoken word album of his poetry. Taupin was well known for writing the words to many Elton John songs, and he collaborated 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.

All the poems were written by Bernie Taupin.
