He Sings Too

Robert Hilburn neglected to mention Bernie Taupin’s own recent musical output and that Taupin is also a “Man With the Voice” (“Man With the Words,” Sept. 30). Bernie and his band, the Farm Dogs, have (quietly) released two albums in recent years working in a style updating Elton John’s “Tumbleweed Connection” period. Taupin serves as both lyricist and lead vocalist with his band.
