John Kirkpatrick sang The Widow of Westmorland’s Daughter on his 1972 Trailer album Jump at the Sun with Richard Thompson and Ashley Hutchings playing guitar and bass. For contractual reasons, though, they were credited with the pseudonyms Agnes Mirren and Humphray de Echyngham.

You can see it in the liner notes of the album here (via link).   From the liner notes:

SINGING BILLY: I don't know how this bunch of words came to be. All of a sudden it was just there. But after I wrote it I realized it needed the voice of the slinky sex to supplemented my own dulcet tones -- so I called on Druscilla Clang (pseudonym, Rosalie Sorrels).

... and

SKIER'S BIBLE SCHOOL: The character of the Old Testament stories have suffered through many and different tales of their activities. I hope they will not mind my pulling them out in the snow. Druscilla helps me with the snow-job.

As for why the pseudonym, I haven't the foggiest. I suppose it's a joke, but as for an explanation, I couldn't say.

What’s in a Name?: The Many Aliases of Bob Dylan
https://americanroutes-blog.tumblr.com/post/5808770786/whats-in-a-name-the-many-aliases-of-bob-dylan

While many, if not most, of his fans know Bob Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman, fewer know that he has taken on a number of other identities throughout his career. Barely out of high school, Bob Dylan took the name Elston Gunn to play piano behind the early rock-and-roller, Bobby Vee. He played harmonica for Ramblin’ Jack Elliot’s 1964 album, Ramblin’ Jack, under the handle of Tedham Porterhouse. Around the same time he recorded an album of old folk songs as Blind Boy Grunt. When, in 1972, Dylan appeared on Steve Goodman’s Somebody Else’s Troubles, he was known as Robert Milkwood Thomas. Years later, as a member of the Traveling Wilburies, Dylan transformed into Boo Wilbury. Finally, as co-writer for the screenplay of Masked and Anonymous in 2003, he morphed himself into Sergei Petrov.

The LITTLE SANDY REVIEW No.18 has a review of
Prestive International 13039
RAY CONRAD: THE C0TTON-PICKIN* LIFT TOWER AND OTHER SKI SONGS.
it contains the following sentence:
"Rosalie Sorrels turns up under the name of Druse1la Clang for a chorus or two."

all the docuentation for this album indicates she is credited under
her proper name.

Has anyone seen a copy with that pseudonym ???
Anyone know of her use of that pseudonym anywhere else ???

Thanks, Thomas.
