i don't know that kick ass is really the right term. james taylor is a good musician but i wouldn't really say he kicks ass.

I saw Mark Knoffler in concert a few years ago.
He is an exceptional guitarist but his show is kinda slow.
It was good, don't get me wrong. Just kinda slow.
Until he broke out Romeo and Juliette and Sultans of Swing.
