Worley also created a major stir among the country music world after posing nude in the July 2007 issue of the magazine called Playgirl. He wanted to add a more sexual element to his music and songwriting. He stunned a lot of fans, but he just wanted to change his image. He didn’t want the world to think of him as a good boy, so the award winner decided to pose for the magazine. http://www.countryweekly.com/darryl_worley_playgirl/feature/1264
