"Jacket Full of Danger" is Adam Green's fourth solo album, released in 2006. It revisits the string-laden melodrama of his second album "Friends of Mine", mostly abandoning the uptempo country folk sound of his previous release, "Gemstones".

Lyrically, the album explores the same mournful, puerile terrain as "Gemstones", with Green's familiar obsession with drugs, surrealism and failed relationships.

The albums cover art is an illustrated photograph by American artist Galen Pehrson and was featured in ArtForum 10.6Vol-9UK The image depicts Green with a suite of illustrated characters, each character refers or symbolizes a social theorist, philosopher, or semiotician: Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Louis Althusser, and most notable Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan engaged in a "dance"

In the UK, the album was preceded by the single "Nat King Cole" which also features artwork by Pehrson
