If you really wanted to get all into your specific little tiny ranges of elistist genre naming that most people dont know or care about, then you could technically call some of his stuff rockabilly. This cannot however be streched to call him a ROCK musician. Remember kids, image and music are different things, even if all the major labels tend to disagree.
As the man himself once sang:

I didn't ever play much rock and roll
cause I got so much country in my soul
