He Who Rides the Tiger is a 1980 solo album from longtime Elton John lyricist Bernie Taupin. It is his second 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 released on CD by American Beat Records on March 10, 2009.
