One Day at a Time was a 1970 album by Joan Baez. Recorded in Nashville, the album was a continuation of Baez' experimentation with country music, begun with the previous year's David's Album. The album is significant in that it was the first to include Baez' own compositions, "Sweet Sir Galahad" and "A Song for David", the former song a ballad for her younger sister Mimi Farina, and the latter song being for her then husband, David Harris, at the time in prison as a conscientious objector. The album also included work by The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson and Pete Seeger.

The album contains two of the songs Baez performed at Woodstock four months earlier: "Joe Hill" and "Sweet Sir Galahad."

The Vanguard reissue contains two outtakes from the One Day at a Time sessions: "Sing Me Back Home" and "Mama Tried", both duets with Shurtleff, and both Merle Haggard covers. (The two cuts had first appeared on Baez' 1993 boxed set Rare, Live & Classic.)

Backing musicians were: Harold Bradley, David Briggs, Ken Buttrey, Pete Drake, Richard Festinger, Junior Huskey, Tommy Jackson, Grady Martin, Norbert Putnam, Jerry Reed, Hargus "Pig" Robbins, Jerry Shook, Jeffrey Shurtleff, Buddy Spicher and Pete Wade.
