... that someone who has played with both
The Allman Brothers Band and
The Rolling Stones has called BHLT, which they also played in, "the best band you've never heard of"? Source: Leavell, Chuck; Craig, J. Marshall (2004). Between Rock And A Home Place. Dry Branch, Georgia: Evergreen Arts. p. 261.
Interesting short-lived band, told with detail on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook idea is good, but I think "someone who has played" (which at that point could be cards, or theatre) is too unspecific. We could name the person, no? I also feel that the ""which" clause holds up the final statement for too long. Want to try? --

As for not naming him in the hook, I wanted to make it a bit more mysterious and get readers to click through to the article. So as alternative wordings, how about:
