Sun-era Cash would be Rockabilly not Rock - Rock was used a term that came later when they dropped the Roll from "Rock n Roll" (The Beatles claimed to be the first Rock Band). It might be all semantics to most people but it's helpful to understand the terminology. To my understanding Rockabilly music came first then Rock n Roll then Rock. Johnny Cash is an artist that throughout his career played different genres, and is recognised both "Rock n Roll" and Country HoF.
