Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Tangled up in Blue makes sense for a singer who can handle a dense lyric flow and sell the heavier subject matter. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
