I also like Ryan Adams and I think Wilco are sometimes pretty okay. Alt-country just doesn't feel like Country music to me.

Also, I'm a poster who feels that Cash was more of a Rock musician than a Country one. His peers were Elvis, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis. I consider them all more Rock even if they were "from the country" and, similarly to Ryan Adams and Wilco, I like them but they aren't reasons why I like Country.
Just to clarify your point, so that I can understand it, you're saying because he hung around people who'd be considered "Rock", he is therefore "rock."

Similarly, are we calling Bruno Mars rap because he guested on a few tracks? If so, I can finally understand why Ice Cube thinks he's an actor.
