What I meant by "coffeeshop sounding" was just that it was a very "safe" example of the genre, and not really all that distinctive. Not really offering anything new, but pleasant enough listening. I would say the same of the likes of Marissa Nadler. Well recorded and well played, but not that exciting to my ears and a little too sweet.
Barefooted onstage is a completely prejudicial and inconsequential criticism though. Definitely my own problem.
