"Grand Union" is the fifth studio album from the band Firebird, which was formed by Carcass guitarist Bill Steer with drummer Ludwig Witt. It was released in 2009 on Rise Above Records. In addition to the nine original tracks, it features covers of James Taylor, Humble Pie and British bluesman Duster Bennett.
Greg Prato of allmusic gave the disc 3.5 of 5 stars saying "Everything about this release reeks of the '70s" and that listeners should "be prepared to be transported to the heady days of incense, bell-bottoms, afros, and blacklight posters."
