“Just Like That” by Bonnie Raitt

"Just Like That" is the title track of Bonnie Raitt's eighteenth album, Just Like That..., which Redwing Records put out on April 22, 2022. Raitt wrote it alone and produced it herself, and the story it tells lands like a quiet gut-punch: a woman gets a visit from the person who received her son's heart in the transplant that saved them. She sings and plays acoustic guitar over Kenny Greenberg on electric guitar, Glenn Patscha on Hammond organ, James Hutchinson on bass and Ricky Fataar on drums and percussion, and Ryan Freeland recorded and mixed it.

At the 65th Grammy Awards it won Best American Roots Song and, in what was seen as an upset over higher-charting songs, Song of the Year. The win set off a surge in streams and sales and gave Raitt her first number one on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
