"Truest Inspiration" is the sixth studio album by The Northern Pikes released in 2001. This was their first album of new music since they reformed in 1999 after a 6 year break.

Following the release of "Neptune" in 1992 and the subsequent live album called "Gig" in 1993, the band decided to disband. During their time apart, Jay Semko and Bryan Potvin each released a solo album. However, in 1999 Virgin Records asked the band members for their input on a "greatest hits" package. The band decided to do a short promotional tour following the release of "Hits and Assorted Secrets 1984-1993", but found themselves enjoying the more relaxed independence of making their own schedule that they continued touring.

After a live album called "Live" released in 2000, the band decided to record a new album in the latter half of 2000. No longer signed to Virgin Records, the album was released independently by the band's Square Dog management group.
