Road Apples is the second full-length album by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, and it was their first to reach #1 in Canada.^[3] The group wanted to title the album "Saskadelphia," but the record label found it "too Canadian." The group then suggested Road Apples, local slang for frozen horse-droppings, and the record label, unaware of its meaning, liked it. The album has been certified 8x platinum in Canada.^[4]

The album was recorded in New Orleans.
