One Piece at a Time is the 54th album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released in 1976 on Columbia Records. "One Piece at a Time," which was a #1 hit, is a humorous tale of an auto worker on the Detroit assembly line who puts together a car out of parts he swipes from the plant. "Sold Out of Flag Poles" also charted as a single, reaching #29 on the country singles charts. "Committed to Parkview", a Cash original, would be re-recorded in 1985 by Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson, collectively known as The Highwaymen, on their first album, Highwayman; it is one of the few country songs sung from the perspective of a patient at a mental hospital.[citation needed]

The album is notable for being credited to "Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three", a credit that hadn't been used on Cash releases since the 1960s, and for featuring Cash's recording of "Love Has Lost Again," written by his daughter, Rosanne Cash prior to the launch of her own solo career. On "Let There Be Country", the album's opening track, Cash shares songwriting credit with Shel Silverstein, who had written Cash's biggest hit up to this time, "A Boy Named Sue", which like "One Piece at a Time" was a comedic song.

"Go On Blues" was later re-recorded during the American Recordings session with Rick Rubin. It was not on the album but part of the promo single for "Delia's Gone".

One Piece at a Time es el vigesimocuarto álbum del cantante country Johnny Cash lanzado en 1976 bajo el sello disquero Columbia. Del CD se desprenden canciones como "One Piece at a Time" que fue un gran éxito ya que llegó al #1 en los rankings y relata la vida de un trabajador de Detroit que trabaja en una línea de producción de autos de la cual se robaba partes para hacerse uno para el. La canción "Sold Out of Flag Poles" también salió como sencillo publicitario llegando al puesto # 29 y la canción "Committed to Parkview" una canción original de Cash que fue regrabada en 1985 junto a Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson y Willie Nelson junto a Cash conocidos colectivamente como el grupo The Highwaymen en su primer álbum llamado Highwayman ( esta es una de pocas canciones cantadas desde el punto de vista de un paciente con problemas mentales).
