[edit] Reception
The song went on to become Turner's biggest hit to date. It was his second #1 country single in a row after "Your Man" peaked at the top on the Billboard Country chart in early 2006. "Would You Go with Me" spent two weeks at the top. It also received Turner's highest rankings on the Hot Digital Songs and Pop 100 charts peaking at #43 and #60 respectively. On the Hot 100, its highest position was #43.
Shortly after the song had already peaked on the charts, Turner's performance of the song on the CMAs lead to a huge sales spike on online retailers sending the song back up the Hot 100, Hot Digital Songs and Pop 100 charts to new peaks.
By the end of 2006, "Would You Go with Me" had sold 250,000 digital downloads.[citation needed]
[edit] Grammy nominations
In late 2006, the nominees for the 2007 Grammy Awards were announced. Turner received a nomination for Male Country Vocal Performance of the Year for "Would You Go with Me." He also earned a nomination for Country Album of the Year for Your Man.
[edit] Music Video
The music video for "Would You Go with Me" was shot in an abandoned farmhouse in Watertown, Tennessee using green and blue screens. Kristin Barlowe directed the video. [1]
The video follows a boy and a girl who wander into the farmhouse as children. It shows them at different stages in their lives together in different locations all within the house using CGI.
The video starts out as two children run into an empty house. Josh begins singing in the dark house while holding a lamp. The children find a jar of sand in the house and dump it out onto the floor, transforming the room into the beach. It then shows them in various outdoor locations at different ages. At the end of the video, the boy, now an old man, returns to the beach with a chest of his wife's ashes. The little girl, played by Peter Cetera's second daughter Senna, then returns and the old man transforms into the little boy again and the two run off together. Josh is shown throughout the house and outdoor settings singing. Musicians playing the mandolin, dobro, guitar and banjo are also featured in the video.
