chichi27's review against another edition
4.0
Good book by my favorite professor at UT. Miller discusses how the seperation of musical genres in America didn't begin until publishers and record labels and booking agents tried to market everything. It's a bit dry and academic, but it's pretty fascinating, at least to this moi.

takes us through early 1900s landscape of genres comprising popular music in the american south (or, in people’s visions of the south). really great explorations of the multiracial engagements with diff materials and practices, and how music entrenched or reimagined racial segregation practices. did struggle a bit w/ organization since the signposting wasn’t always clear. but nice counterpoint to ideas in david brackett’s categorizing sound!
