Tom "T-Bone" Wolk (December 24, 1951 - February 28, 2010) was the longtime bassist with Hall & Oates (since 1981's Private Eyes album) and was also at one time a member of the Saturday Night Live Band. Wolk also worked with Carly Simon, Jellyfish, Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Shawn Colvin and Billy Joel[1] over the course of his career.
Wolk grew up in New York. In 1991 Wolk co-produced Willie Nile's Places I Have Never Been on Columbia Records. Wolk also worked with Ryan Leslie on his self-titled debut album. More recently Wolk played a Fender Custom Shop replica of his heavily modified 1964 precision bass.
"T-Bone" recorded on bluesman Guy Davis' albums, Butt Naked Free and Chocolate to the Bone, and appeared with Guy on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" performing, "Waitin' On the Cards to Fall".
Wolk had a column in the publication Guitar for the Practicing Musician during the 1980s.
Since late 2007, Wolk played with Daryl Hall and various musicians on Live From Daryl's House, a free monthly webcast that featured guests such as John Oates, Smokey Robinson, Todd Rundgren, Nick Lowe, The Bacon Brothers, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and others.
Wolk died on February 28, 2010, from a heart attack.[1][2] He was 58 years old. The band's manager, Jonathan Wolfson, said Wolk died Sunday in Pawling, New York, where he had been recording a solo album with Daryl Hall.[3]
