Don't be surprised if you run into Luke Combs and he wants to have a deep intellectual conversation. He gets that trait from his dad.

Luke told us, "My dad is a big conversationalist. He's more into not just talking the talk. He's more into intellectual conversation. I've got a little bit of my dad's, [habit of] wanting to have deeper conversations."

As for Combs' mom, she's more of a people pleaser and so is Luke. He says, "She loves to talk and be around people and make people happy. I got that from her. You know, Mom's just talking on the phone lot, whether it's to me or grandma or her sister or brother or anybody, you know, she's always talking."

Luke has been working hard in the studio and writing at home with friends for his third album.
