I never heard the blues in his music until after I started playing his riffs myself, out of context of the rest of the band. And while there are many phrases from Albert King and the like, his overall phrasing is not really blues at all. Like his riff for In The Flesh or his crazy creepy riffs in Dogs. There's definitely a blues influence, but "blues" doesn't quite capture all of Gilmour to me.
