Bernie Taupin’s “He Who Rides The Tiger” will be re-released on March 10, 2009 on American Beat Records.

Bernie Taupin recorded his own mini-masterpiece in 1980 with the release of “He Who Rides The Tiger”. Bernie’s third solo release (his first was spoken word), "He Who Rides The Tiger" garnered much critical acclaim upon it’s release, and critics still point to this album as a high point in Bernie’s illustrious career.

Guests include Elton, David Foster, Tom Scott and Jeff Porcaro, but what is most striking is Bernie's fantastic voice. It is amazing that this album did not strike gold on the radio when it was released. It has become quite a collector's item, though, with Japanese pressings of the CD fetching well over $100 on eBay and Amazon.
