There's a lot to love in this recording. As you mentioned, the "raw" feel of it. That solid bass hit, which almost sounds lifted up in the mix, giving it a solid pounding, and then, that awesome transition for the third verse, that lovely "twang" of the guitar.
Yes, Orbison, truly one of the greats. Unlike some singers throughout the years, he had that awesome range in his vocals to his dying day. I still think his first version of "I Drove all night" is far better than the remakes that followed.

This the stereo version, (most videos have the mono version on the original version), this sounds MUCH better!!
... and, of course, the classic ...
