Segregating sound refers to the racially segregated regions in America, and how there were differences in the music that musicians and record labels produced. In Miller’s book, he talks about how there were clearly defined sound and genres for whites and blacks. For example, the Folk music was a southern style variation of country music. This genre was for the amusement of the people separated from city life. On the other hand, blacks were known for having blues as their genre. The idea of the segregation of sound is a metaphor to how the music was divided, just like the country. It wasn’t until record companies started allowing races to produce music that society didn’t deem as theirs. Even though the country was racially segregated, I still don’t understand how people were so content with the idea of not letting other people enjoy and revolutionize genres of music because of the color of their skin. The mindset of America at the time was too simplistic, meaning they didn’t want any part with something if it didn’t come from their people.
